This brief paper describes intravesical endometriosis presenting in a way that can mimic bladder cancer. The authors report the clinical scenario in which endometriotic involvement of the bladder was difficult to distinguish from malignancy based on initial presentation. A key caveat is that the paper is a short case-based report with limited methodological detail, so the findings are not generalizable beyond the described context. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on intravesical (bladder) endometriosis masquerading as bladder cancer.
