Chronic interstitial cystitis: a heterogeneous syndrome.

M Fall, S L Johansson, F Aldenborg

    The Journal of Urology
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Classic interstitial cystitis shows distinct histopathological and clinical differences from nonulcerative forms, particularly concerning mast cell activation and mucosal changes. These findings suggest they are separate conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pathology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic bladder condition with poorly understood subtypes.
    • Distinguishing between ulcerative and nonulcerative IC is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the histopathological differences between classic (ulcerative) and early (nonulcerative) interstitial cystitis.
    • To identify specific cellular markers, particularly mast cells, associated with each subtype.

    Main Methods:

    • Histopathological examination of bladder tissue from 28 patients with IC and 14 healthy controls.
    • Special fixation and staining techniques were employed to identify distinct mast cell populations.

    Main Results:

    • Classic IC exhibited focal ulceration, edema, and increased mast cells in the detrusor muscle and mucosa.
    • A significant increase in two distinct mast cell populations was observed in classic IC, with mucosal mast cells showing migratory capacity.
    • Nonulcerative IC showed minimal and uncharacteristic histopathological changes, with no signs of mast cell activation.

    Conclusions:

    • Classic ulcerative interstitial cystitis and nonulcerative interstitial cystitis represent distinct clinical and pathological entities.
    • Mast cell activation is a key feature differentiating classic IC from the nonulcerative form.
    • Separate evaluation of these subtypes in clinical studies is warranted.
