Bladder endocervicosis - A rare diagnosis with a silent presentation

Area of Science:

• Gynecologic Pathology
• Urologic Oncology

Background:

• Bladder endocervicosis is a rare benign condition involving ectopic endocervical tissue within the bladder wall.
• Few cases are documented in medical literature, highlighting its rarity.

Observation:

• A 35-year-old female with a history of cesarean section, subtotal hysterectomy, and right oophorectomy presented asymptomatically.
• Pelvic ultrasonography incidentally detected a bladder lesion.
• The lesion was diagnosed as bladder endocervicosis via transurethral bladder resection and histopathological analysis.

Findings:

• Histopathological analysis confirmed bladder endocervicosis.
• The patient remained free of clinical or radiological recurrence at 12 months post-surgery.

Implications:

• This case contributes to the limited literature on bladder endocervicosis.
• It underscores the importance of diagnostic imaging and histopathology for rare bladder conditions.
• Successful management via transurethral resection suggests a favorable prognosis for bladder endocervicosis.
