Inflamatory Pseudotumor of the Bladder: A Histopathological Diagnostic Challenge from Its Malignant Variant.

Inflamatory Pseudotumor of the Bladder: A Histopathological Diagnostic Challenge from Its Malignant Variant.

Inflammatory Pseudotumor (IP) of bladder is one of a variety of lesions which may arise from spindle cell lesions in the bladder. It is benign in nature compared to the other end of the spectrum of spindle cell lesions, such as sarcoma, sarcomatoid carcinoma and leiomyosarcoma. The diagnosis of IP a...
