Mullerianosis is a term used to describe a pathologic entity comprised of at least 2 types of Mullerian-type epithelia (tubal, endocervical, or endometrial) at non-gynecologic sites. This is an uncommon occurrence in the urinary tract. To the best of our knowledge, only 3 instances of Mullerianosis involving the ureter have been reported. We present a fourth report and describe the clinical, radiological, and histopathologic findings. Awareness of this rare process is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis.
苗勒管异位是一个术语,用于描述在非妇科部位由至少两种苗勒管型上皮(输卵管、宫颈管或子宫内膜)组成的病理实体。这在泌尿道中并不常见。据我们所知,仅有3例涉及输尿管的苗勒管异位报告。我们现报告第4例,并描述其临床、影像学和组织病理学表现。认识到这一罕见过程对于避免误诊至关重要。
