ABSTRACT
Xanthogranulomatous cystitis (XC) is a very rare benign chronic inflammatory disease of unclear etiology. Herein is reported the case of a 46-year-old woman who presented with a painless lower abdominal palpable mass. According to the cystoscopic, ultrasonographic and enhanced computed tomographic (CT) findings, a urachal carcinoma could be suggested. Partial cystectomy was performed as the presence of a urachal carcinoma could not be ruled out. There was no recurrence of the XC more than 12 months after the partial cystectomy.
