    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Endometriosis, a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, is uncommon in postmenopausal women.
    • Bladder endometriosis can present with urinary symptoms and pelvic masses, mimicking other pathologies.

    Observation:

    • A postmenopausal patient presented with gross hematuria and a pelvic mass, indicative of potential bladder endometriosis.
    • Initial medical management with progestins proved ineffective in resolving the patient's symptoms and mass.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention via partial cystectomy was ultimately required to address the bladder endometriosis.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed endometriosis involving the bladder tissue.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering endometriosis in the differential diagnosis of urinary symptoms and pelvic masses in postmenopausal individuals.
    • Surgical management may be necessary when medical therapies fail, offering a definitive treatment option for bladder endometriosis.
