Abstract
Introduction: We present the first reported case demonstrating an association of mucocolpos and bladder exstrophy.Materials: A term baby girl presented with bladder exstrophy and underwent a successful primary bladder closure and ureteral reimplantation. Subsequently, she presented with a fluid-filled pelvic mass which was found to be a mucocolpos.
Results: Surgical drainage of the collection was required.
Conclusion: Mucocolpos should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pelvic mass in a patient with bladder exstrophy.
