[Glandular cystitis. Endovesical steroid treatment].
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of cystitis glandularis, a proliferative disorder of the bladder mucosa whose incidence is estimated to be approximately 1%.


RESULTS
A case of diffuse cystitis glandularis in a male patient is presented. Intravesical steroid therapy achieved symptomatic resolution, although the proliferative mucosal lesions persist.


CONCLUSIONS
There is currently no non ablative treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective in diffuse cystitis glandularis.
