OBJECTIVE: To analyze the hormonal dependence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in endometriosis of the bladder. METHODS: A case of endometriosis of the bladder that had presented as a tumor in a 30-year-old female is described. Immunohistochemical studies were performed using estrogen and progesterone antireceptor antibodies. RESULTS: A strong positivity for progesterone in the endometriotic stromal cells was demonstrated. A mild positivity for estrogen in the glandular epithelial and stromal cells was observed. CONCLUSIONS: The present case demonstrates the hormonal dependence of endometriosis of the bladder and raises the possibility of utilizing hormone therapy in specific patients.

OBJECTIVES: To report on an uncommon case of polypoid cystitis. METHODS/RESULTS: The patient had consulted because urinary stream was suddenly interrupted due to a mass protruding into the urethral meatus. The US, IVP, cystoscopic and pathological findings are documented. The literature on polypoid cystitis is briefly reviewed with special reference to its forms of presentation and the pathological findings which permit making the differential diagnosis from other pathologies, the most important being transitional cell papillary carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: An uncommon case of cystitis is described, which emphasizes the varied forms of presentation of this condition and the need to distinguish this lesion from other pathologies, particularly bladder carcinoma.
