This case report details a rare concurrent diagnosis of ovarian and renal endometriosis in a young woman, with thyrotoxicosis potentially masking symptoms and fine needle aspiration confirming the condition to prevent unnecessary surgery.

This paper is a case report describing a young woman in whom kidney endometriosis was diagnosed concurrently with ovarian endometriosis. The authors note that the condition may have been silent for a long time, potentially related to coexistent thyrotoxicosis modifying estrogen metabolism. Fine needle aspiration cytology was used to clinch the diagnosis and prevented unnecessary nephrectomy, and the key limitation is that these findings are based on a single patient report. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically reports a rare case of endometriosis involving the kidney alongside ovarian disease.

Abstract

Endometriosis of kidney is a rare manifestation of a relatively common disease. We report a case in which ovarian and renal endometriosis were diagnosed concurrently. The disease was probably silent for a long time due to coexistent thyrotoxicosis modifying estrogen metabolism. Fine needle aspiration cytology clinched the diagnosis of endometriosis and avoided unnecessary nephrectomy.
