Description
Summary:We report a rare case of a 26-year-old patient presented with 3-week history of frank haematuria and suprapubic discomfort. Investigations revealed a tumour arising from the bladder wall and histology demonstrated cystitis glandularis. The literature review highlights the rarity of cystitis glandularis presented in such manner. Our radiographic and endoscopic images can also assist future diagnosis of the condition especially in patients in such age groups.
