The first case of barium granuloma involving the bladder is reported. A-72-year old woman was admitted for non-papillary sessile bladder tumor. Transurethral biopsy revealed a xanthogranulomatous lesion with foam cells and inflammatory cells. Partial cystectomy and hysterectomy were carried out for en bloc removal of the tumor. The histological diagnosis was foreign body granuloma with xanthogranulomatous inflammation. The foreign body was revealed to be barium by analytical electron microscopy.
