Ever since Hunner<sup>1</sup>described the clinical picture of ulcer of the bladder in women which has since borne his name, relatively few cases involving men have been described. Peterson and Hager<sup>2</sup>demonstrated the general incidence of interstitial cystitis by reporting 8 cases, all involving women, from a series of 1,707 urologic patients. This group was made up of 1,292 men and 415 women. While most of the patients have been women, this disease has been observed among men by many investigators. In a series of 14 cases reported in 1922, Kretschmer<sup>3</sup>described 1 case in a man. In 1929 Hinman<sup>4</sup>reported 6 cases in men in a series of 110 cases.
