Abstract

Miscellaneous benign lesions of the bladder are composed of morphologic aspects of the urothelial mucosa. They are epithelial lesions (von Brunn nests, glandularis cystitis, nephrogenic adenoma, polypoid cystitis and epidermoid metaplasia), myofibroblastic proliferations and heterotopias (endometriosis, endocervicosis, endosalpingiosis and ectopic prostatic tissue). Etiology, morphologic aspects and differential diagnosis are discussed.
