This case report describes bladder endometriosis in a 32-year-old woman with a 6-month history of urinary tract symptoms, including pain and urgency at micturition during menstruation. MRI showed an irregular 1.5-cm mass in the posterior bladder wall, and the patient underwent combined transurethral and laparoscopic partial cystectomy; histopathology confirmed bladder endometriosis. The authors report the woman remained symptom-free 9 months after resection, while the study’s limitation is that it represents a single patient case with no comparative analysis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reports the surgical management and follow-up outcome for bladder endometriosis treated with laparoscopic partial cystectomy.

Abstract

Bladder endometriosis is a relatively rare condition, representing < 1% of all endometriosis cases.We report a case of bladder endometriosis in a 32-year-old woman who was successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery. She had a 6-month history of urinary tract symptoms, such as pain and urgency at micturition during menstruation. A MRI showed an irregular, 1.5-cm mass in the posterior wall of the bladder. She underwent a combined transurethral and laparoscopic partial cystectomy. Histopathologic examination confirmed bladder endometriosis. She remains symptom-free 9 months after resection of the bladder endometriosis. Considering the successful outcome, conservative laparoscopic surgery appears to be an effective method with a less invasive approach in the treatment of bladder endometriosis.
