Fibrous inflammatory pseudotumor of the bladder.

Fibrous pseudotumor of the bladder, a rare, benign, and proliferative lesion of the submucosal stroma, can be mistaken on gross examination for a malignant lesion and must be differentiated on histologic examination from several bladder malignancies. Radiographic examination alone cannot establish a definitive diagnosis. Complete transurethral resection of such lesions appears to be curative.
