OBJECTIVE: To describe the anatomopathologic characteristics of @entity46 infiltrating the bladder detrusor. DESIGN: Descriptive anatomopathologic study. SETTING: Tertiary care center for @entity46 . @entity1 (S): Four @entity1 , aged 22-38 years, who underwent laparotomy for @entity1494 . INTERVENTION(S): Surgical excision and pathologic analysis of bladder endometriotic nodules in four @entity1 . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Gross and microscopic characteristics of endometriotic nodules. RESULT(S): A nodule of @entity1870 on the anterior wall of the uterus, in continuity with the detrusor lesion, was excised in three @entity1 . In the other @entity1 , @entity1494 was continuous with a nodule that infiltrated the left parametrium and extended as far as the posterior leaf of the ipsilateral broad ligament. Microscopically, all of the lesions had a similar histologic pattern: foci of @entity46 scattered in the bladder wall. The main feature was the paucity of @entity1478 , particularly in the bladder submucosa, where glands were almost always dilated and cystlike and were lined by flattened cells. CONCLUSION(S): Analysis of our @entity1 , although it does not pinpoint the pathogenesis of the disease, seems to exclude the hypothesized intraperitoneal origin of endometriotic lesions of the bladder detrusor.
