| Resumo: | A 16–year–old male presented with urinary urgency , a frequency of 4 months duration and intermittent gross haematuria which were there
since one month. Eosinophilia was noted in complete blood count and CT KUB with contrast showed a filling defect in the right lateral wall,
over the vesicoureteric junction. Cystoscopy revealed a sessile mass lesion over right vesico–ureteric junction, with bullous oedema . Rest
of the mucosa was normal. Transurethral resection of lesion was performed and histological examination showed features of eosinophilic
cystitis. Patient was treated with corticosteroids , antimicrobial agents and antihistaminics and he is recovering well. We are presenting this
case for its rare presentation and its possibility of mimicking a bladder tumour. Biopsy of the lesion was diagnostic and an early treatment
showed good results. |
