Abstract

Ureteral endometrio sis is one of the most serious misdiagnosed conditions among the women that can lead to urinary tract obstruction, with subsequent hydronephrosis, hydroureter, and kidney dysfunction. Approximately 10% of female suffered with misdiagnosed endometriosis with common symptoms like pelvic pain and infertility. Lesions involve the urinary tract in up to 6% of cases with ureteral involvement in a smaller subset of .08% to 1%. Most of the cases of endometriosis were misdiagnosed due to similar symptoms with other disease conditions. This case report may help to overcome such conditions and it may aid in the right diagnosis of urinary bladder endometriosis for other disease conditions.
