Eosinophilic cystitis is a rare inflammatory condition of the bladder characterized by eosinophils infiltrating the bladder wall. It affects people of all ages and with no gender difference. Eosinophilic cystitis can mimic bladder tumors and other chronic cystitis, which makes it a challenging condition to diagnose. In this article, we will discuss the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of eosinophilic cystitis, as well as how it might be mistaken for bladder tumors.
