    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Pathology
    • Urologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.
    • Vesical endometriosis, or endometriosis of the bladder, is an uncommon manifestation.
    • This case involves a postmenopausal patient with no history of exogenous estrogen administration.

    Observation:

    • A postmenopausal woman presented with symptoms suggestive of bladder pathology.
    • Past medical history included an abdominal hysterectomy 24 years prior.
    • No exogenous estrogen therapy had been administered.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with vesical endometriosis.
    • Surgical treatment involved a partial cystectomy to remove the affected bladder tissue.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of endometriosis recurrence or de novo development even after hysterectomy and without estrogen therapy.
    • Understanding such rare presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of gynecologic and urologic conditions.
    • Further research may explore the specific mechanisms behind endometriosis in postmenopausal, non-hormone-treated individuals.
