Abstract
- Polypoid cystitis is an unusual benign lesion characterized by the edema, congestion and inflammation elevating the vesical mucosa into papillary projections. It is rare in the absence of one of the following 3 recognizable causes: indwelling catheters, vesical fistula or chronic bladder irritation. We report a case of a rapidly growing, huge polypoid cystitis without identifiable cause in a 17-year-old female, who was managed by cystectomy with uterus preservation and orthotopic bladder substitution.
