A rare case of ureteral endometriosis caused obstructive uropathy in a 32-year-old female. Surgical intervention successfully treated the ureteral stenosis and hydronephrosis, highlighting endometriosis as a potential cause of urinary tract obstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Ureteral endometriosis is a rare condition causing urinary tract obstruction.
  • Endometriosis can affect the urinary system, leading to significant complications.

Observation:

  • A 32-year-old female presented with macroscopic hematuria and pollakisuria.
  • Cystoscopy showed cystitis; IVP and retrograde pyelography revealed right ureteral stenosis and hydronephrosis.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration identified the right lower ureter embedded in fibrous tissue, with a small tumor causing stenosis.
  • Histological diagnosis confirmed endometriosis as the cause of the ureteral obstruction.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering endometriosis in the differential diagnosis of obstructive uropathy, especially in women of reproductive age.
