Urinary bladder xanthoma, also xanthoma of the urinary bladder and bladder xanthoma, is a rare benign lesion of the bladder that occasionally may be clinically suspicious for malignancy.[1]
General
- Rare - 17 cases in a larger multi-institutional study.[2]
- Like other xanthomas may be associated with an abnormal lipid profile.
Presentation:[2]
- Hematuria.
- Irritation.
Gross
Features:[2]
Microscopic
Features:
- Aggregate of foamy histiocytes in the lamina propria.[2]
- No significant nuclear atypia.
DDx:[2]
- Signet ring cell carcinoma.
- Granular cell tumour.
- Malakoplakia.
- Xanthogranulomatous cystitis.
- Mild urothelial atypia (esp. large umbrella cells) in normal urothelium.

Urinary Bladder Lesion, Transurethral Excision: - Xanthoma, see comment. - Negative for carcinoma in situ and negative for invasive malignancy. COMMENT: These lesions may be associated with metabolic abnormalities. A lipid profile is suggested if not done recently.
