This single case report describes a 12-year-old girl who had interstitial cystitis (IC) and endometriosis, presenting with pelvic pain. The paper focuses on the overlap of these two conditions in a young patient and highlights the need to consider each when the other is present. As a single-case report, it provides no generalizable prevalence estimates or comparative analysis and does not establish causality. Relevance to endometriosis: it is directly about endometriosis alongside interstitial cystitis in a 12-year-old girl, with the clinical framing emphasizing screening between the conditions.
