Extrapelvic endometriosis is rare and can present as a suburethral mass. This case highlights the importance of considering endometriosis in diagnosing such masses, even without prior pelvic endometriosis detection.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Extrapelvic endometriosis can manifest in uncommon locations.
  • This report details a rare instance of an endometrioma presenting as a suburethral mass.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old nulliparous woman experienced a painful suburethral mass, dyspareunia, and voiding difficulties.
  • Ultrasound revealed a 3.7 cm echolucent suburethral mass.
  • Double-balloon cystourethrography confirmed no communication with the urethral lumen.

Findings:

  • Pathologic examination of the excised mass confirmed endometriosis.
  • This represents a rare case of suburethral endometrioma.

Implications:

  • Suburethral masses warrant consideration of extrapelvic endometriosis, even without a history of pelvic endometriosis.

  • Ultrasonography and double-balloon cystourethrography are valuable diagnostic tools.
  • Complete surgical excision is recommended for managing suburethral endometriomas.
