[A case of non-specific inflammatory granuloma of the bladder with marked eosinophilic infiltration]

A case of non-specific inflammatory granuloma of the bladder with marked eosinophilic infiltration is reported. A 54-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital on March 9, 1983, with the suspicion of bladder cancer. Her primary complaints were miction pain, frequency and gross hematuria. Cystoscopic examination revealed a hemi-sphere-shaped tumor at the dome of the bladder. Biopsy revealed no malignancy and marked eosinophilic and macrophagocytic infiltration of the submucosa. The patient was treated with antiallergic drugs and antibiotics with excellent relief of symptoms and objective remission of bladder findings on repeated cystoscopy and computed tomography.
