This case study details ureteral endometriosis in a postmenopausal woman with liver cirrhosis. The condition, causing severe ureteral stricture, highlights a rare presentation potentially linked to hyperestrogenemia.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Urology
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Ureteral endometriosis is a rare condition, particularly in postmenopausal women.
  • Endometriosis typically affects women of reproductive age, involving pelvic organs.
  • Liver cirrhosis can lead to hormonal imbalances, including hyperestrogenemia.

Observation:

  • A 48-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with right flank pain and microhematuria.
  • She had a history of hysterectomy and left oophorectomy for adenomyomatosis.
  • Physical exam revealed liver swelling, and lab tests indicated severe liver dysfunction due to cirrhosis.

Findings:

  • Excretory urography showed right hydronephroureterosis and a severe stricture in the distal right ureter.
  • Right ureteral catheterization confirmed a high-grade distal ureteral stricture.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Pathological diagnosis of the resected ureter was extrinsic endometriosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case suggests a potential link between hyperestrogenemia from liver cirrhosis and the development/progression of endometriosis.
    • The findings underscore the importance of considering rare gynecological conditions in patients with complex medical histories.
    • Further research may elucidate the role of hormonal dysregulation in endometriosis pathogenesis, especially in unusual patient populations.
