Eosinophilic cystitis, a rare bladder condition, presents with urinary symptoms and can mimic tumors. This study shows excellent symptom improvement with various treatments in seven patients.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Eosinophilic cystitis is a rare, benign bladder condition.
  • It can present with diverse clinical and radiological findings, sometimes mimicking malignancy.
  • This study details a single-center experience with seven male and female patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively evaluate the clinical presentation, radiological findings, and treatment response in eosinophilic cystitis.
  • To highlight the largest single-center series reported to date, noting its unusual male predominance.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of seven biopsy-proven eosinophilic cystitis cases over 8 years.
  • Analysis of clinical symptoms, urinalysis, radiological imaging (including upper tract), and cystoscopic findings.
  • Evaluation of surgical interventions (biopsies, resections, fulguration, cystectomy) and medical management (NSAIDs, prophylactic antibiotics).

Main Results:

  • All patients (5 men, 2 women) experienced urinary symptoms like dysuria and frequency; two had hematuria.
  • Radiological findings included bladder mass-like lesions and upper urinary tract dilatation.
  • Cystoscopy revealed papillary, erythematous, and ulcerative mucosal lesions, with one large mass.
  • All patients showed excellent symptomatic improvement following treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Eosinophilic cystitis can present with significant lower urinary tract symptoms and concerning radiological findings.
  • A combination of surgical procedures and medical management leads to excellent outcomes.
  • This series, with a majority of male patients, is unusual and contributes to understanding this rare condition.
