title: Melanosis of the bladder: a rare endoscopic and histopathological finding.
abstract: Melanosis of the bladder represents a rare condition characterized by anomalous deposits of melanin-containing pigment. To our knowledge, so far, just 5 cases have been reported in the literature. We describe a case of a simply melanosis of the bladder confirmed by histochemical stains and immunohistochemistry analysis.
