Abstract

We experienced a case of candida albicans cystitis resembling a bladder tumor. The case involved a 75 year-old female patient who complained lower abdominal pain and voiding difficulty. A pelvic ultrasonograph, a pelvic CT and the cystoscopic findings indicated a bladder tumor. The mass lesion was diagnosed from a cystoscopic biopsy as candida albicans cystitis. The mass disappeared and the voiding symptoms improved two weeks later after Itraconazole (Sporanox ) oral medication.
