Eosinophilic cystitis (EC) is rather an uncommon disease in childhood. A case of EC in a 5‐year‐old boy, in which open biopsy was needed for final diagnosis, is reported. After diagnosis, he was treated with pemirolast potassium followed‐up with eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in serum and urine. Eosinophil cationic protein is an appropriate marker of EC.
