To report on two different types of cystitis presenting as pseudotumor. The differential diagnosis between the foregoing lesions and true tumors can only be established by biopsy. We report two cases of cystitis (eosinophilic cystitis and glandular-cystic cystitis) with clinical, radiological and endoscopic features of a bladder tumor. The diagnosis, etiopathological aspects, clinical course and treatment of both types of cystitis are reviewed. Hematuria is the most frequent and most important symptom of these uncommon lesions. They present as space occupying lesions in more than 50% of the cases and have no specific diagnostic features. The diagnosis can only be made by pathological examination following TUR-biopsy.
