ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To report a new case of bladder mullerianosis. METHODS: We present the case of a 30 year old female patient with history of miscarriage, who refers voiding dis-turbances with menstruations. Vaginal ultrasound showed an exophytic bladder lesion, which was confirmed by cistoscopy. Endoscopic resection was indicated. RESULTS: The pathological study of tissues obtained showed mixed glandular structures with predominant tubaric-like type, in association with endometrial- and endocervical-like elements. No evidence of endoscopic relapse after one year of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: We contribute with a new case of bladder mullerianosis. We emphasize the scarcity of its published reports. We support the option of an endoscopic surgery for these patients.
