The paper reports two clinical cases of urinary tract endometriosis and provides a review of the existing literature, focusing on diagnosis and treatment challenges. Across these cases and prior reports, it emphasizes that urinary tract endometriosis is relatively rare, clinical signs are nonspecific, and diagnosis is therefore difficult, with therapy not being well defined in the literature. The authors’ major caveat is the limited evidence base inherent to case reports and a narrative review rather than prospective comparative studies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically urinary tract (e.g., bladder/ureter) endometriosis, where nonspecific presentation and uncertain management are highlighted.
