Abstract

Ureteral endometriosis is a rare clinical condition in postmenopausal women. It should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses in women presenting with a lower ureteric mass, as it can lead to silent loss of renal function. We present a case of a chronically obstructed kidney due to ureteric endometriosis in a postmenopausal woman.
