Abstract

Eosinophilic cystitis (EC) is an uncommon form of bladder inflammation. It is a rare disorder in children and fewer than 25 cases have been described in the literature. We report a case of eosinophilic cystitis mimicking a bladder tumor in a 3 year-old girl with symptoms of urinary frequency. The diagnosis was confirmed with pathology and she underwent clinical treatment with corticosteroids.

Keywords
