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]
- 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:
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.
DDx:
- Cystitis cystica.
- Nested variant of urothelial carcinoma.
- Tubular adenoma of the urinary bladder.
- Adenocarcinoma in situ of the urinary bladder.

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.
