This paper is a case report describing a 27-year-old woman with suprapubic discomfort, dysuria, and catamenial urinary storage/voiding symptoms with microhematuria but negative urine cytology for malignant cells. Workup with urinary ultrasound and flexible cystoscopy identified a blue, non-papillary cystic lesion in the bladder, and transurethral resection showed endometrial stroma with muscularis propria on histology; she was subsequently asymptomatic on GnRH agonist therapy. The authors discuss bladder endometriosis as a rare entity that can mimic other urologic diseases and notes the explicitly stated caveats that hematuria is uncommon and that malignant transformation has been described, requiring follow-up, and they also emphasize limits in imaging performance (e.g., ultrasound sensitivity around 50%). This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically bladder endometriosis presenting as hematuria-like urinary symptoms in a case report, with histologic confirmation and management discussion.
