Müllerianosis of the urinary bladder: apropos of a case

Abstract

Müllerianosis of the urinary bladder is a rare disease characterized by the presence of ectopic gynecologic tissue in the bladder and in which, on rare occasions like this case, the endocervical and tubal epithelium are stick together the in the same patient. The condition also has non-specific clinical symptoms with menstrual fluctuations; and unlike endometriosis which is more common, it has a relatively limited amount of cases. The most frequent ectopic location is in the ovaries, uterosacral ligaments, Douglas cul de sac, the peritoneum covering the pelvis, fallopian tubes and the cervix; therefore, its presence in the urinary tract is very rare. A surgical approach was followed with this patient.
