Abstract
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.
