ABSTRACT

Eosinophilic cystitis (EC) is a rare disease that is characterized by inflammation of the bladder wall and whose etiology is still not well known. Less than 30 cases have been reported in the pediatric age. The symptoms, laboratory tests, and imaging studies are usually nonspecific, so the definitive diagnosis is by histopathology. Treatment, in most cases, is conservative (antihistamines, anti-inflammatories).
We present two cases of patients diagnosed with eosinophilic cystitis which appeared to be a bladder tumor in the initial evaluation. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological study after taking a sample of the tissue during cystoscopy. Both patients maintained conservative treatment remitting all their symptoms. Two years later patients remain asymptomatic.
As there are few reports in literature these clinical cases are presented to share our experience regarding clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of eosinophilic cystitis.
