Inflammatory Pseudotumor of the Bladder: Case Report

ABSTRACT

Inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder is a rare benign lesion. Because it is difficult to differentiate from other tumors clinically and pathologically, histopathologic confirmation is needed, and to avoid unnecessary cystectomy, it should be included in the differential diagnosis. A 47-year-old male presented with hematuria and voiding difficulty. IVP revealed a triangular filling defect in the urinary bladder, and CT demonstrated the presence there of a strongly enhancing mass. We deseribe this case, in which inflammatory pseudotumor was diagnosed, and review the literature.
