Abstract
Mullerianosis of the bladder is a rare pathological condition characterized by the presence of residual Mullerian ductal tissue in the bladder wall. Although usually benign, Mullerianosis of the bladder may show tumor-like features and lead to potential misdiagnosis as bladder carcinoma.In this case report, we discuss a 53-year-old woman who presented with left flank pain, and an incidental bladder USG revealed a mass. Cystoscopy revealed a mucinous mass on the posterior wall, and histopathological examination revealed Mullerian type epithelium, confirming the diagnosis of Mullerianosis. The lesion recurred in two more control cystoscopies within two years.This case highlights the importance of considering Mullerianosis in the differential diagnosis of bladder lesions mimicking adenocarcinoma. Keywords: Mullerianosis; Bladder; Uropathology; Rare lesion of the bladder.
期刊介绍：
Concise but fully substantiated international reports of clinically oriented research into science and current management of urogenital disorders form the nucleus of original as well as basic research papers. These are supplemented by up-to-date reviews by international experts on the state-of-the-art of key topics of clinical urological practice. Essential topics receiving regular coverage include the introduction of new techniques and instrumentation as well as the evaluation of new functional tests and diagnostic methods. Special attention is given to advances in surgical techniques and clinical oncology. The regular publication of selected case reports represents the great variation in urological disease and illustrates treatment solutions in singular cases.
