Abstract

A patient with chronic urticaria and angioedema developed endoscopically confirmed interstitial cystitis. Bladder biopsy revealed bladder mastocytosis with >60 mast cells/mm² (normal <10) in the detrusor and submucosa. Most of the mast cells were activated and degranulated. The occurrence of IC in a patient with urticaria and angioedema, diseases both associated with mast cell pathophysiology, supports the role of mast cells in interstitial cystitis.
