title: [Eosinophilic cystitis as symptom of an idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Eosinophilic cystitis as a symptom of an idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is a very rare clinical picture with an unpredictable course. A combination of both symptoms has not been described previously in the peer reviewed literature. As a result of this myeloproliferative disease there is a pathologically increased production of eosinophils in the blood which, in turn, can cause organ complications. Cardiovascular, thromboembolic and pulmonary disease have been reported as complications in the oncological literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  A girl aged 2 years and 4 months developed a massive intraluminal tumour of the bladder as a result of eosinophilic cystitis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Because of the rareness of this disease standardized therapy regimens do not exist; however, individualized treatment and close. Oncological follow-ups are highly recommended. The Aim should be to reduce the excessive production of eosinophil in order to avoid organ manifestations. Even so, the course of the disease remains unpredictable.
