Abstract

Eosinophilic cystitis is a rare form of allergic cystitis. We reported a case of eosinophilic cystitis coexisting with superficial bladder cancer, which seemed to be invasive bladder cancer on imaging. We performed total cystectomy in this case. When invasive bladder cancer is diagnosed by imaging, coexistence of eosinophilic cystitis with superficial bladder cancer should be considered if biopsy does not show invasive bladder cancer.
