The paper describes a rare case of a 29-year-old woman who presented with unilateral loin pain, found to have a severely hydronephrotic kidney caused by deposits of pelvic endometriosis affecting the ureter. The authors report that a double J-stent was placed beyond the obstruction and that hormone therapy was started, with stent removal after three months once back pressure changes resolved. As a single case report, the main limitation is that it provides no broader population-level evidence beyond this individual presentation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically ureteral (urinary tract) endometriosis presenting as hydronephrosis.
