Brief description/objective

Melanosis of the urinary bladder is an extremely rare benign condition in which melanin deposits occur in the urothelial and stromal cells. We report such a case in which melanosis of the urinary bladder was detected in a 55-year-old woman with known multiple sclerosis during an extended workup due to urinary urgency complaints. The findings were confirmed by biopsy.
