Eosinophilic cystitis in a patient with hypereosinophila syndrome: A case report

Abstract: Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare disorder that is characterized by hypereosinophilia and organ damage, caused by the infiltration of eosinophils. In rare cases, the urinary bladder may also be involved. The current case report presented a 56-year-old male with gross hematuria and hypereosinophilia. The diagnosis of eosinophilic cystitis associated HES was established. Oral prednisone with a slow tapering regimen was administered as the primary treatment for the patient, which achieved partial hematol… Show more

“…Reports of eosinophilic cystitis in dogs and humans are very rare (Fuentealba and Illanes 2000;Evason and Carr 2007;Ozaki et al 2008;Gelberg 2010;Koyima et al 2013;Jiang et al 2014) and to the best of our knowledge the condition has yet to be described in cats. In this case a biopsy of the urinary bladder wall would be necessary to confirm the presumptive diagnosis of eosinophilic cystitis, since eosinophils in FNAB could also represent peripheral eosinophilia and/or eosinophil infiltration in the bladder wall as part of another inflammatory process.…”

“…The cause of eosinophilic cystitis remains elusive (Evason and Carr 2007). In humans, eosinophilic cystitis is described as a rare manifestation of hypereosinophilic syndrome, and in most patients, has a benign course with spontaneous resolution (Kojima et al 2013;Jiang et al 2014). In dogs, meanwhile, it is associated with urolithiasis and infections (Fuentealba and Illanes 2000;Evason and Carr 2007); in some cases, the exact cause cannot be determined (Ozaki et al 2008).…”

“…In one case series that investigated the incidence of different organs involvement, anemia was present in 53% of patients, thrombocytopenia was more common than thrombocytosis (31% vs. 16%), and bone marrow eosinophilia ranged from 7% to 57% (mean 33%) [11]. Only one case reported eosinophilic cystitis [12].…”

“…Cases have also been reported in association with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, such as observed in the present case. 13,14 Peripheral eosinophilia is detected in about 40% of cases. Radiologic testing by intravenous urography, ultrasonography, or CT scan often detects bladder wall thickening or solitary tumor-like lesions that can mimic bladder cancer.…”
