We report a case of polypoid bladder endometriosis in pregnancy. Diagnostic workup showed a vesicouterine well-vascularized polypoid mass, suspicious for malignancy. During pregnancy, the mass was surgically resected with safe oncological margins. Pathological examination of the resected specimen revealed pseudotumoral polypoid endometriosis of the bladder. We illustrate diagnostic pitfalls in the differentiation between bladder endometriosis during pregnancy and malignancy. As a result of pregnancy-related decidualization of vesical endometriosis, differentiation between this rare occurrence and malignant transformation is challenging.
我们报告了一例妊娠合并膀胱子宫内膜异位症息肉样病变。诊断性检查显示,膀胱子宫血管丰富的息肉样肿块,疑似恶性肿瘤。在妊娠期间,安全地进行了肿瘤学边缘的手术切除。切除标本的病理检查显示,膀胱子宫内膜异位症呈假肿瘤样息肉样病变。我们说明了在妊娠期间的膀胱子宫内膜异位症与恶性肿瘤之间的鉴别诊断中的陷阱。由于妊娠相关的膀胱子宫内膜异位症蜕膜化,这种罕见的病变与恶性转化之间的鉴别具有挑战性。
