Urinary bladder xanthoma (UBX) is an infrequent lesion that has been very rarely referred to in medical literature. We describe a case of UBX that was associated with a low-grade transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. The cystoscopic aspect of this lesion was so characteristic that diagnosis could be suggested at cystoscopy, while histological examination confirmed this.

Background: A urachal mass is a relatively rare presentation to the urologists' practice, often requiring radical surgical excision for a definitive diagnosis. Xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the urachus is an extremely rare entity with few cases reported worldwide, and to the best of our knowledge, no cases reported in the western world.
Case Presentation: In this case, a 55-year-old male patient presented with bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms and computed tomography findings demonstrating a urachal mass that was worrisome for urachal carcinoma.
Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis with histologic features suggestive of IgG4 related cholecystitis - A morphologic overlap with IgG4 related disease.

Aims: Both xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) and IgG4-related cholecystitis (IgG4-CC) are rare chronic fibroinflammatory tumefactive diseases of the gallbladder, which cause a strong confusion with resectable malignancy in view of their mass forming tendency with extension into the liver. We aim to study the histopathologic features of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis with regard to IgG4-related cholecystitis in extended cholecystectomy specimens.
Methods And Results: Sixty cases of extended cholecystectomy with liver wedge resection, diagnosed as XGC on histopathology from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrieved from the archives.
