ABSTRACT
Background:
An 80 years old male patient presented with urinary retention. He had lower urinary tract symptoms for the last two years. The patient was catheterized and subsequently developed gross hematuria. The patient was COVID- 19 positive. Method(s) The ultrasonography showed bladder wall thickening with bladder mass around the neck. The computerized tomography scan showed heterogeneously enhancing thickening in the left lateral wall of the urinary bladder and was suspected to be neoplastic. There was a suspicious heterogeneously enhancing lesion in the base of the prostate. His serum prostate-specific antigen level was 5.79 ng/ml. His repeated urine cytology for malignant cells was non-diagnostic. Result(s) The patient underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURPT). The TURBT biopsy showed florid cystitis cystica et glandularis and the TURPT biopsy showed adenomatous hyperplasia. Conclusion(s) The florid cystitis cystica et glandularis mimic a malignancy, and it is, therefore, important to consider it as a differential diagnosis while evaluating catheterized patients with lower urinary tract symptoms.
