Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Ureteral endometriosis is a rare entity which may produce urinary tract obstruction with subsequent loss of renal function if treatment is not undertaken early due to its asymptomatic but locally aggressive course. METHODS/RESULTS: We report one case of intrinsic ureteral endometriosis with unilateral renal failure (renal atrophy) and unresectable periureteral fibroinflammatory thickening involving vascular or visceral structures. CONCLUSIONS: We emphasize the diagnostic and therapeutic importance of a high degree of clinical suspicion about this entity, mainly in patients with history of genital endometriosis.
