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.
