Abstract

Endometriosis is the ectopic presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. Bladder involvement of these lesions is not uncommon and has been reported and studied extensively. Mullerianosis is a term that describes the ectopic presence of tissues from the endocervix and endosalpinx in extrauterine sites. Only a few cases of Mullerianosis involving the urinary tract system have been reported in literature. We report a case of a 32-year-old lady with bladder mass and periodic hematuria and dysuria. She underwent TURBT ¹and on histopathology was found to have bladder Mullerianosis. Patient was later treated with oral contraceptives with improvement.

Keywords: Bladder; Endometriosis; Hematuria; Mullerianosis.
