This paper reports two clinical cases of ureteral endometriosis, a rare form of urinary tract endometriosis that is difficult to identify compared with the more commonly described bladder involvement. The authors describe the pathology in the ureter and discuss treatment goals focused on restoring ureteral function (disobstruction) while eradicating endometrial foci, using surgical, radiotherapeutic, and chemotherapeutic approaches. The main caveat is that the evidence base presented is limited to case reports, without broader methodological detail or outcomes beyond the described cases. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically ureteral endometriosis presenting as ureteral obstruction.

Abstract

The authors present two cases of ureteral endometriosis. 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.
