Müllerianosis of the urinary bladder is a rare pathological condition involving ectopic Müllerian-derived tissues within the bladder. Despite its benign nature, due to its ability to mimic malignant conditions such as bladder carcinoma, diagnosis might be challenging. In this review, data from 36 cases across 32 studies were analyzed, focusing on patient demographics, symptomatology, diagnostic imaging, and histopathological features.
