Endometriosis of the urinary bladder is uncommon, and malignant transformation within vesical endometriosis is extremely rare. Vesical endometriosis and Mullerianosis can cause problems in differential diagnosis with vesical neoplasm, and, conversely, primary vesical neoplasm arising in endometriosis can be difficult to distinguish from secondary vesical involvement. Mullerianosis has rarely been described in the urinary bladder. A case of endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder is reported, which illustrates the difficulties in diagnosis and the importance of morphology and ancillary studies in establishing the correct diagnosis.
膀胱子宫内膜异位症并不常见,膀胱子宫内膜异位症发生恶变极为罕见。膀胱子宫内膜异位症和苗勒管化生在与膀胱肿瘤的鉴别诊断中会引发问题,反之,发生于子宫内膜异位症的原发性膀胱肿瘤也难以与继发性膀胱受累相区分。苗勒管化生在膀胱中鲜有报道。本文报告一例膀胱子宫内膜样腺癌病例,该病例展示了诊断中的困难以及形态学和辅助检查在确立正确诊断方面的重要性。
