  • 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.
