Abstract

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is a benign condition characterized
by the presence of multinucleated giant cells, chronic
inflammatory cells and lipid-laden macrophages, known as xanthoma
cells. Only 22 cases of xanthogranulomatous cystitis (XGC)
have been reported in the Japanese and English literature. In this
report, we describe the twenty-third case of XGC and the third case
associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A 50-year-old
woman with quiescent Crohn’s disease was incidentally found
to have a bladder mass on ultrasound. The lesion was resected
through a transurethral approach. Pathology demonstrated XGC.
At 3 months post-resection, there was no evidence of recurrence
adjacent to the previous resection scar.
