This report describes four cases of ureteral stenosis caused by extrinsic compression from pelvic endometriosis and reviews 156 literature cases, emphasizing that endometriosis-induced fibrosis can mimic neoplastic lesions.

Abstract

If endometriosis is particularly well known by Gynecologists, ureteral complications of this disease are very rare. We have had the occasion to observe four cases of ureteral stenosis by extrinsic compression of a pelvic endometriosis, and about these four cases, we have reviewed one hundred and fifty six cases in literature. We have emphasize that the fibrosis provoked by endometriosis can look like a neoplastic lesion, and get involved in very heavy therapeutic gestures. We insist on the fact that every endometriosis discovered should be on surgery of kidneys and ureters.
