[Pseudo-tumor form of bladder scleroderma: unusual cause of hematuria].
The bladder is a rare site of scleroderma. The frequency of bladder involvement is difficult to estimate, as only about thirty cases have been reported in the literature. Scleroderma bladder involvement usually presents in the form of frequency and burning, but may sometimes cause urgency or recurrent urinary tract infections. The authors report a case of bladder scleroderma responsible for severe haematuria in a 56-year-old woman and discuss this rare cause of macroscopic haematuria in the light of the histological findings and a review of the literature.
