Dr. Ayeesha Sithika.T, Dr. Hemalatha Ganapathy

Abstract: Polypoidal cystitis presenting without the history of bladder catheterization is rarely documented in literature and mislead to the diagnosis of papillary urothelial neoplasm. A 26 year old female came with complaints of lower abdominal pain, dysuria for 2 months and fever for a week. Imaging of the abdomen suggested multiloculated abscesses in suprapubic region with adjacent bladder wall thickening. Cystoscopy revealed a papillary lesion in the dome of the bladder. Partial cystectomy was done and microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis of polypoidal cystitis.
