Abstract

A 35-year-old male presented with multiple interrupted episodes of frank hematuria and persistent microscopic hematuria. CT urogram demonstrated a nonspecific lesion in the bladder. Cystoscopy showed a lesion in the bladder wall that was biopsied, and histopathology confirmed a xanthoma, a rare diagnosis in the bladder. This case report performs a review of current literature and examines necessary investigations,
differential diagnoses, and management required for bladder xanthoma.
