Glomerulation

Glomerulation

Glomerulation refers to the appearance of petechiae in the bladder lining, which is a characteristic finding in interstitial cystitis (IC) without Hunner's lesions. It is one of the criteria used to classify IC/BPS as IC with Hunner's lesions, IC without Hunner's lesions but with glomerulation, and BPS with no findings on cystoscopy.From: Does repeated hydrodistension with transurethral fulguration for interstitial cystitis with Hunner’s lesion cause bladder contraction?

Prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma is a gritty, firm, gray-yellow, poorly delimited, easily felt mass. Histologically, acinar adenocarcinomas show cuboidal and/or columnar-shaped malignant cells in the neoplastic tissue forming acini and tubules; finely granular cytoplasm, nuclear enlargement, hyperchromasia, and prominent nucleoli (>3 μm); rare mitotic figures; perineural invasion; glomerulation; and mucinous fibroplasia [6].

The aetiology of interstitial cystitis (IC)/bladder pain syndrome (BPS) is unclear, and there is no curative treatment. At the Fourth International Consultation on Interstitial Cystitis Japan in 2018, it was suggested that IC/BPS be classified as IC with Hunner’s lesions, IC without Hunner’s lesions but with glomerulation, and BPS with no findings on cystoscopy. IC with Hunner’s lesions is considered to be a homogeneous disease, whereas IC/BPS with no Hunner’s lesions is considered to be a heterogeneous syndrome. Therefore, it is important to divide IC/BPS by type classification, as the response to treatment may differ depending on the type of IC/BPS.
