[Polypoid cystitis associated with glandular cystic cystitis].
OBJECTIVE
Polypoid cystitis and intestinal metaplasia are well-known lesions of the bladder.


METHODS
We report the case of one patient with both lesions identified synchronically in the bladder.


RESULTS
Although these lesions are not neoplastic, there are evidences supporting a possible degeneration of the metaplastic epithelium to adenocarcinoma.


CONCLUSIONS
The diagnosis of both lesions is histological and there are not clinical tests or image studies that could enable identification of the real nature of these lesions.
