This case report examines a 41-year-old female with bladder endometriosis who presented with a bladder mass and a history of cesarean section. The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of the patient’s clinical data, which included ultrasound findings of a low-echo nodule on the posterior bladder wall, followed by treatment via transurethral resection. Postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient remained recurrence-free during a six-month follow-up period. The paper highlights that isolated bladder endometriosis is rare and often misdiagnosed as bladder tumor, emphasizing the need for complete lesion removal. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically bladder endometriosis, noting its potential misdiagnosis as malignancy and the efficacy of surgical excision.

Method: Retrospectively analyze the clinical data of a patient with bladder endometriosis admitted to our hospital and review relevant literature. Results: The patient was a 41-year-old female who was admitted to hospital due to “bladder occupation”. She had a history of cesarean section. Urinary ultrasound showed low echo nodules on the posterior wall of the bladder. Transurethral cystotomy was performed after admission. Postoperative pathology showed bladder endometriosis, and no recurrence was observed during postoperative follow-up for 6 months. Conclusion: Bladder endometriosis is a rare disease. Isolated endometriosis of bladder can be easily misdiagnosed as bladder tumor. The principle of treatment is to remove the lesion as much as possible. 文章引用：赵飞, 宋冰冰, 吕广伟, 王黎明. 膀胱子宫内膜异位症1例并相关文献复习[J]. 临床医学进展, 2022, 12(2): 898-902. https://doi.org/10.12677/ACM.2022.122130 | [1] | Olive, D.L. and Pritts, E.A.
