This paper reports a case and reviews the literature on ureteral involvement in endometriosis, focusing on diagnostic challenges and management. A patient presented with right lower quadrant pain that initially mimicked acute appendicitis, but further evaluation identified right pyonephrosis caused by midureteral endometriosis, alongside a right ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. The authors conclude that diagnosing ureteral endometriosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion and highlight ultrasound as important in assessing acute abdomen in women, with the main caveat being the case-report nature and reliance on literature review. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically describes ureteral endometriosis presenting as acute pyonephrosis.
