MARTI MESTRE, J. et al. Urinary bladder xanthoma: A cystoscopic finding. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2004, vol.28, n.8, pp.617-619. ISSN 0210-4806.

Urinary bladder xanthoma (UBX) is an infrequent lesion that has been very rarely referred to in medical literature. We describe a case of UBX that was associated with a low-grade transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. The cystoscopic aspect of this lesion was so characteristic that diagnosis could be suggested at cystoscopy, while histological examination confirmed this.

Keywords : Urinary bladder; Xanthoma; Cystoscopy; Transitional cell carcinoma.
