Resumo(s)
A endometriose caracteriza-se pela presença de tecido endometrial fora do útero. O envolvimento do sistema urinário é raro, sendo a bexiga a estrutura mais habitualmente atingida. Radiologicamente estas lesões podem ser difíceis de distinguir das neoplasias vesicais intrínsecas. A partir do caso clínico de uma mulher com endometriose vesical, os autores fazem uma revisão das características clínicas, imagiológicas e anátomo-patológicas desta entidade.
Endometriosis is characterized by endometrial tissue in ectopic foci outside the uterus. Involvement of the urinary tract is rare, with the bladder being most commonly affected in these cases. Radiologically these lesions may be difficult to distinguish from intrinsic bladder neoplasia. The authors present the case of a woman with bladder endometriosis and the imagiologic and histologic features that suggest the diagnosis.
