[Cystitis cystica glandularis. A study of 2 cases].
The authors report two cases of cystitis glandularis revealed by hematuria and urinary retention. Cystitis glandularis is a rare disease, caused by metaplasia of the vesical submucosa, probably related to a chronic irritative factor. In its minor form, it has the same clinical features as simple cystitis, but its major pseudoneoplastic form may be mistaken for bladder tumor. The diagnosis is essentially histological. Treatment is usually medical, based on eradication of the irritative factors. Surgery is performed in the case of complications of this disease. The clinical course is unclear, requiring long-term surveillance.
