Follicular cystitis (FC) is a benign pathology of bladder surface and has a proliferative character. It is an entity that belongs to the
group of chronic cystopathies. FC were identified by Cruveilier for the first time in the year 1856. Bacterial infections and
inflammatory process are believed to be responsible for the etiology. Patients present with non-specific lower urinary tract
symptoms such as dysuria, hematuria and pollakiuria. But recurrent urinary tract infection or resistant microscopic or macroscopic
hematuria attacks can be stimulating for the diagnosis of FC. Usually, radiological imaging methods don’t help to diagnosis. The
real diagnosis of FC consists of cystoscopy planning followed by histopathological examination. In the cystoscopy, mostly the
presence of nodules in trigone localization can be detected. The presence of large number of plasmatic cells and lymphocytes in
lymphoid follicles in trigonal area mucosa and submucosa of bladder are typical characteristics of FC. So, pathological examination
is necessary for the final diagnosis of this entity. Conservative management is the best and most applied method in treatment.
Notwithstanding the preferred approaches in conservative treatment options, radiotherapy and cystectomy can be applied in
refractory cases. In our study, we evaluate current approaches with several cases with follicular cystitis and alternative treatment
options with accompanying guidelines to treat this entity
