3. DiscussionMelanosis of the urinary bladder is an extremely rare, benign condition. Common symptoms found throughout these cases include hematuria, incontinence, retention, dysuria and urinary frequency. Due to the finite number of cases reported, these symptoms must be linked to the presence of melanosis in more cases before they can concretely be considered the result of the condition. The condition occurs in both men and women between the ages of 43 and 90; all instances have been discovered incidentally. In the limited number of cases where race was reported, 6 patients were Caucasian, while 1 was African American. 1 Applying stains such as Fontana Masson, iron, Periodic Acid Schiff, bleach treatment, and immunohistochemical stains for S100 protein and HMB45 can aid in diagnosis. Melanin pigment that disappears when bleached is typically found within the black or brown lesions found throughout the bladder. 2
