This case report describes bladder endometriosis presenting as an endoluminal mass, initially suspected as transitional cell carcinoma but later ruled out by cystoscopic findings.

This submission appears to be largely composed of journal/editorial content and author testimonials about the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), rather than a scientific case report analyzing bladder endometriosis mimicking transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). The text provides general statements about the journal’s editorial and peer-review processes, indexing, and online features, but it does not describe patient characteristics, diagnostic methods, histopathology, or clinical course typical of a case report. A major limitation is that no substantive research findings are presented and the supposed case-report subject matter is not actually detailed in the provided text. The paper’s relationship to endometriosis and adenomyosis is that it is labeled as “Bladder Endometriosis Mimicking TCC,” but the provided content does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis beyond that title/keyword context.

Abstract

Endometriosis is the ectopic presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Though on its own endometriosis is not a rare lesion, the involvement of the urinary tract is rare but with the bladder being the most commonly affected organ. Endometriosis is usually seen in females between the ages of 30-40 years and may occur due to fluctuating levels of oestrogen and progesterone. Clinically the patient maybe asymptomatic or show symptoms of dysmenorrhea, irregular or heavy periods, pain in the pelvic area, lower abdomen or in the back. It has been suggested that ultrasonography should be done either before or during menstruation as the lesion becomes more evident and a biopsy taken during this period is a strong aid in reaching a final diagnosis. We report here an unusual case of bladder endometriosis where the patient came with severe pelvic pain and an endoluminal mass seen on the ultrasonographic report. Based on these findings a differential of transitional cell carcinoma was given which was ruled out based on the cystoscopic findings.
