Ureteral endometriosis is a rare cause of urinary tract obstruction. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent irreversible kidney damage, especially in women with a history of endometriosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Pathology
  • Urologic Oncology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Ureteral endometriosis is a rare condition.
  • It can lead to urinary tract obstruction and renal dysfunction.
  • The condition is often asymptomatic but locally aggressive.

Observation:

  • A case of intrinsic ureteral endometriosis is presented.
  • The patient experienced unilateral renal failure with renal atrophy.
  • Unresectable periureteral fibroinflammatory thickening was noted.

Findings:

  • Intrinsic ureteral endometriosis can cause severe, unilateral renal damage.
  • The condition may present with advanced renal atrophy.
  • Surgical intervention may be limited by unresectable inflammatory changes.

Implications:

  • A high degree of clinical suspicion is vital for early diagnosis.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment can prevent renal function loss.
  • Patients with a history of genital endometriosis are at higher risk.
