Abstract
We report 2 cases of inflammatory pseudotumor (IFS) of the urinary bla dder observed in a man and a woman aged 63 and 66, respectively. Gross hematuria was the chief complaint. Immunohistochemical profile of IFS suggested a myofibroblastic proliferation. The DNA diploid pattern of IFS further supported the benign nature of the process. Immunohistoch emistry seems to be the method of election in differentiating IFS from other spindle cell proliferations of the bladder.
