Q

Whats the etiological difference between Cystitis Cystic and Cystitis Glandulars (CC and CG)?

A

Utothelium metaplasia into buds (nests of von Brunn), then invades the lamina propria. In CC it then differentiates into cystic deposits. In GC, it differentiates into intestinal columnar mucin-secreting glands
