Inflammatory pseudotumors (IPT) are uncommon, benign, non-epithelial tumors of the urinary bladder. Only less than 30 cases have been reported so far in world's literature. The transititional cell carcinoma constitutes 90% of malignant epithelial tumors of urinary bladder. Large, endoscopically unresectable tumors require radical surgery. IPT resemble such tumors, morphologically, radiologically and clinically. The benign nature of this tumor warrants conservative surgical management, either transurethral resection or partial cystectomy. Awareness of this entity and its inclusion in the differential diagnosis may prevent unnecessary radical surgery. We report an unusual case of inflammatory pseudotumor of urinary bladder because of its diagnostic and management dilemma.
炎性假瘤（IPT）是膀胱罕见的良性非上皮性肿瘤。迄今为止，世界文献中报道的病例不足30例。移行细胞癌占膀胱恶性上皮性肿瘤的90%。体积较大、内镜下无法切除的肿瘤需要进行根治性手术。IPT在形态学、放射学和临床上与这类肿瘤相似。该肿瘤的良性性质使得可采取保守手术治疗，即经尿道切除术或部分膀胱切除术。认识到这一实体并将其纳入鉴别诊断，可避免不必要的根治性手术。我们报告一例不寻常的膀胱炎性假瘤病例，因其存在诊断和治疗困境。
