Cystitis glandularis
Diagnosis in short

Cystitis glandularis. H&E stain.

LM nests of urothelium within the lamina propria with cyst formation; lining cells are glandular (cuboidal and/or columnar epithelium); +/-goblet cells; nests should not extend into the muscularis propria
LM DDx cystitis cystica, nested variant of urothelial carcinoma, tubular adenoma of the urinary bladder, adenocarcinoma in situ of the urinary bladder
Site urinary bladder - see urothelium

Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign

Cystitis glandularis is an uncommon type of inflammatory process that afflicts the urinary bladder (cystitis).

Cystitis cystica et glandularis and pyelitis cystica et glandularis redirect to here.

General

  • Benign.[1]
    • No increased risk of malignancy on follow-up in an older paper with a cohort of 136 patients.[2]
    • An older series of 53 patients with intestinal metaplasia suggests it is not a significant risk for cancer.[3]
  • Can be thought of as cystitis cystica with mucin-secreting cells lining the cystic spaces.[4]
  • When seen in conjunction with cystitis cystica it is called cystitis cystica et glandularis.

Note:

  • There are case reports of urethritis glandularis - the same lesion in the urethra.[5][6]

Microscopic

Features:[7]

  • Nests of urothelium within the lamina propria with cyst formation, i.e. lumens are present.
  • Cyst lining cells are cuboidal and/or columnar epithelium.
    • Produce mucin.
  • +/-Goblet cells, i.e. intestinal metaplasia.[4]

Note:

  • Nests should not extend into the muscularis propria.

	- Cystitis cystica et cystica glandularis with extensive goblet cells. 
	- NEGATIVE for dysplasia and NEGATIVE for malignancy.

Block letters

URINARY BLADDER NECK, BIOPSY:
- CYSTITIS CYSTICA ET GLANDULARIS.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

Micro

The sections show urothelial mucosa with bland nests within the lamina propria with cyst formation. The stroma is edematous and has a mixed inflammatory infiltrate consisting of plasma cells, eosinophils, lymphocytes and neutrophils.
