Abstract
The urinary tract constitutes one of the rare localizations of endometriosis, accounting for 1-2%, even rarer when it is the unique localization of the disease.In the present paper the authors present two cases of bladder endometriosis, the second one being the more peculiar, as the classic intra-abdominal foci were absent.The treatment is still controversial; exact diagnosis, patient age, desire for reproduction, severity of symptoms, location and extent of the disease should be taken into consideration in order to determine the appropriate therapy.In our opinion, laparoscopic segmental cystectomy will be the first option to be considered.
