title: [A case of eosinophilic cystitis].
abstract: A 67-year-old man presented with pollakisuria, and miction pain. The patient who had superficial bladder cancer was treated with transurethral resection and instillation of Pirarubicin hydrochloride. Urinalysis revealed a marked increase in eosinophilic cells. A cystoscopic examination revealed an ischemic lesion and hypervascular lesion throughout the bladder. Histological findings of biopsied bladder specimens showed eosinophilic cystitis. Bladder symptoms are improved with steroid administration.
