This article reviews published reports of bladder endometriosis that presented clinically and/or diagnostically as urinary bladder carcinoma, and it adds descriptions of three cases from the authors’ own experience. The paper highlights the clinical mimics between bladder endometriosis and bladder cancer in the context of urinary tract symptoms and concern for malignancy. A stated caveat is that the work is based on a limited case series plus literature reports rather than a comparative prospective study, which constrains generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically bladder endometriosis that mimics urinary bladder carcinoma.

Abstract

The authors consider the prevalence, etiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and surgical treatment of bladder endometriosis on the basis of 3 own cases and an analysis of 384 cases described in world literature. It has been established that endometriosis may mimic bladder carcinoma. The detection of the cyclic pattern of gross hematuria and other symptoms (during menstruation) and that of the characteristic type of tumorous endrometrioid mass at cystoscopy performed during or just prior to menstruation are of key importance for the differential diagnosis of endometriosis and carcinoma. Indications for open resection of the bladder, transurethral resection, and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery are determined.
