Eosinophilic cystitis following immediate post-resection intravesical instillation of mitomycin-C.

Abstract

We present a patient who developed severe lower urinary tract symptoms following resection of a Ta low grade bladder urothelial carcinoma with immediate post-resection instillation of mitomycin-C. Urine cultures were negative. Radiographic imaging demonstrated a bladder mass. On biopsy she was found to have eosinophilic cystitis. We report the clinical scenario and discuss treatment options. A review of reported cases in the English literature is provided.
