SUMMARYEosinophilic cystitis (EC) is a rare disease. We describe three cases, where presentations of the disease are similar. To highlight probable causes of the disease, symptoms, clinical findings and treatment modalities, we reviewed 56 cases over a 10-year period. The most common symptoms were frequency, dysuria, urgency, pain and haematuria. Common clinical findings were presence of bladder mass, peripheral eosinophilia and thickened bladder wall. A variety of medical treatments were used, most frequently steroids, antibiotics and antihistamines. Recurrence occurred in patients on tapering or discontinuing prednisone, among other reasons. There is no consensus about the treatment of EC, but In light of our findings in this review, the treatment of choice in our department will be tapered prednisone over 6-8 weeks in combination with antihistamine.

“…Most polyps are smaller than 6 cm, but polyps greater than 15 cm have been reported and these often project into the bladder through the ureteral orifi ce, as in the present case. 2,5,8 Ureteral fi broepithelial polyps are classifi ed as benign hamartomas because of their histologic organization, 3 and large UFP lesions often cause ureteral invagination because they are made up of a cone of fi brovascular stroma emerging from submucosa. 9 In such cases, it is diffi cult to recognize the base of the polyp ureteroscopically, and endoscopic biopsy is required for pathological confi rmation of the diagnosis to avoid excessive treatment.…”

“…O tratamento de escolha em medicina humana é a ressecção através de cistoscopia e o prognóstico é excelente, sem relato de recorrências (KUMAR et al, 2008). Rawlings et al (2007) descreveram o uso de laparoscopia assistida por cistoscopia para a remoção de pólipos vesicais em dois cães, onde foi possível remoção das massas com margem cirúrgica segura.…”

Pólipos são formações benignas raramente encontradas no aparelho urinário tanto na medicina veterinária como na medicina humana. A etiologia ainda não foi identificada, mas acredita-se que ocorra por infecção recorrente do trato urinário, caracterizando uma doença chamada de cistite polipóide. Descreve-se no presente artigo um caso de pólipo vesical em cadela castrada Cocker Spaniel de 11 anos com histórico de hematúria há dois anos. Foi identificada infecção urinária por Serratia spp e ao exame ultrassonográfico observou-se duas massas pedunculadas irregulares em face cranioventral e espessamento da parede vesical. O animal foi submetido à cistectomia parcial para remoção das massas onde foram observadas várias outras pequenas formações próximas à mesma região. O exame histopatológico confirmou o diagnóstico de pólipos vesicais. Para o tratamento da doença, além da excisão cirúrgica, a infecção deve ser tratada adequadamente. O prognóstico é bom, porém casos de recidivas podem ocorrer especialmente quando a remoção é feita apenas a partir da mucosa vesical. Palavras-chave: Infecção do trato urinário, pólipo vesical, cães DOI: 10.5433/1679 Abstract Polyps are benign formations rarely found in the urinary tract both in veterinary medicine and human medicine. The etiology was not identified, but it is believed to occur by recurrent infection of the urinary tract, characterizing a disease called polypoid cystitis. It was described in this report a case found in a neutered 11 years-old bitch Cocker Spaniel with a history of hematúria for two years. It was identified a urinary infection by Serratia spp and the ultrassond examination showed two irregular pedunculated masses in the cranioventral portion and thickening of the bladder wall. The animal was underwent parcial cystectomy to remove the masses where it was observed other small formations near the same region; the material was referred to histopathological examination to confirm the diagnosis of bladder polyps. For treatment of disease, in addition to surgical excision, the infection should be treated properly. The prognosis is good, but cases of recurrence may occur especially when the removal is made only from the bladder mucosa.
