Abstract

Endometriosis of the left kidney complicated by urolithiasis is described. This represents the tenth case in the world literature of kidney endometriosis. The most common symptom is low back pain. Macroscopic hematuria was only present in half the cases. The preoperative radiological findings have been interpreted as tumor in four cases, contracted, pyelonephritic kidney in two cases and congenital abnormalities in two cases.
