Studies have reported detrusor mastocytosis in patients with interstitial cystitis. The author describes a patient with systemic mastocytosis who was confirmed to have detrusor mastocytosis and interstitial cystitis. She responded to therapy with pentosanpolysulfate. The literature on systemic mastocytosis and the role of mast cells in the pathophysiology of interstitial cystitis are reviewed. |
