[Eosinophilic cystitis. Study of the clinical course in 6 new cases and review of the recent literature].
Presentation of a series of 6 cases of eosinophilic cystitis diagnosed in our hospital and recorded in 1988-1993, with an average follow-up of 2 years from time of diagnosis. The actual trend with regard to this particular form of chronic cystitis is to abandon the idea of considering it a "benign" disease, basically due to its increasingly less uncommon association to bladder and/or prostate tumoral pathology (in the recent literature and most particular in the present series). Also, a relative increase in the frequency of occurrence of this disease is noted, because of chemoprophylaxis of surface bladder tumour with Mitomycin-C, an association which is increasingly frequent. Based on these 6 cases, a review of the most recent literature on this topic is made.
