Urinary tract endometriosis has been frequently described affecting mainly the bladder. In the ureter, it is a rare pathology, of difficult identification. Treatment aims at ureteral disobstruction together with eradication of endometrial foci. This is accomplished by surgical, radiotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic means.\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nAbeshouse, B.
