A rare case of recurrent urinary obstruction and acute renal failure from cystitis cystica et glandularis.

We report a rare case of recurrent florid cystitis cystica et glandularis (CCEG), common type, causing obstruction of the left ureterovesicle junction (UVJ) leading to renal colic and hydronephrosis. A 43-year-old man was admitted with renal colic, left UVJ obstruction, left hydronephrosis and azotemia. Cystoscopy showed a >4-cm bladder lesion compressing the left UVJ. Transurethral resection of the bladder tumour (TURBT) was performed and pathology revealed the lesion as CCEG. Two months later, the CCEG recurred and caused left UVJ obstruction a second time, requiring TURBT.
