Biopsy histology was pooled according to lesion cystoscopy appearance regarding growth pattern and presence of erythema. Voided urine cytology grading before resection was reviewed. We correlated the cystoscopy findings with histology and calculated the sensitivity, specificity, and positive (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for voided urine cytology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In total, 159 patients with a median follow\u2010up of 35 months were included in the study. Altogether, 367 biopsies were analysed. In the case of papillary or flat tumours, 76% of biopsies showed malignant histology and the diagnostic value of cytology was very limited (sensitivity 33%, specificity 84%). Erythematous lesions constituted 57% of all biopsy targets, with the majority being either chronic non\u2010specific inflammation or granulomatous inflammation; 10% of erythematous lesions were malignant at pathological examination. In contrast to papillary and flat tumours, cytology proved to be more accurate in the case of erythematous lesions with a sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of 59%, 76%, 23% and 94%, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Bladder lesions after BCG instillations pose a challenge during follow\u2010up and the appropriate management strategy is not clear. Lesions should not be overlooked as being BCG\u2010induced irritation because they may harbour significant malignancies. The presence of papillary or flat tumour always warrants a biopsy or resection. In the case of erythematous lesions, our results suggest that biopsy may be avoided if voided urine cytology is negative.<\/jats:p>\n
