title: Diagnostic puzzle of inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder: a case report with brief literature review.
abstract: Inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder is a rare reactive proliferation with a clinical presentation similar to malignant neoplasms. We present the case of a 35-year-old woman who presented with left lower quadrant pain and gross hematuria. A diagnosis of cystitis glandularis was initially considered; however, the symptoms did not resolve following transurethral resection. Subsequently, a partial cystectomy was performed after malignancy was excluded based on intraoperative frozen sections. Further histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumor.
