ABSTRACT
Xanthogranulomatous cystitis is a rare benign chronic inflammatory disease. To the best of our knowledge, only 16 cases have been reported in the literature. The etiology of xanthogranulomatous cystitis may include immunological disorders, abnormal lipid metabolism, a reduction of chemotactic activities, and metaplasia of the urothelium due to a chronic infection. Only one case has been reported in the Korean literature. Here we describe two cases of xanthogranulomatous cystitis with a review of the previous reports.
