Cystitis cystica is a chronic reactive change of the bladder mucosa, most likely due to chronic urinary tract infection or mechanical irritation. This condition is benign and commonly encountered. Invaginations of hyperplastic urothelial extensions into the superficial lamina propria are called von Brunn nests. These inflammatory projections are considered reactive but benign and non-malignant. However, cystitis cystica should be promptly diagnosed to exclude malignant conditions with morphological similarities and related conditions such as cystitis glandularis and nephrogenic adenomas. Cystitis cystica, cystitis glandularis, and nephrogenic adenomas can mimic urinary malignancies or ureteral pseudotumors clinically or radiologically, necessitating a broad differential diagnosis.In this activity, participants explore the evaluation and management of cystitis cystica alongside related bladder conditions such as cystitis glandularis and nephrogenic adenoma. By engaging in this course, learners gain comprehensive knowledge and skills necessary for treating patients with these bladder pathologies. Histological examination and tailored treatment underscore the necessity of a comprehensive understanding of these conditions, emphasizing the significance of collaboration among team members for effective patient management. The interprofessional team dynamic emphasized in this activity not only facilitates understanding of individual roles and responsibilities but also enhances communication and collaboration among team members. This collaborative approach ensures a holistic and effective patient care strategy, maximizing patient outcomes and satisfaction.
