Detailed description
A pooled 22 patients diagnosed with eosinophilic cystitis on microscopic examination in our hospital during four years were retrospectively studied.We explored the potential etiology, clinical and histopathology presentation of the eosinophilic cystitis cases, clinically mimicking urothelial neoplasia. Surgical procedure and clinical outcome also evaluated. Transurethral resection of the lesions were performed and pathologically examined, we re-examined the studied cases and made a clinical correlation.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTMicroscopic examination
All the studies cases are microscopically examined using the ordinary stains (hematoxylin and eosin) then the eosinophilic infiltration are counted in 10 high power field manually

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Eosinophil cell count | 1 day | Each tissue slide is retrieved and examined to count the eosinphils in the submucosa, positive cases revelaed more than 90% eosinophils of the whole inflammatory cells |
