This paper is a case report describing endometriosis localized to the urinary bladder wall that presented in a way that mimicked urinary bladder carcinoma. The authors discuss clinical presentation and the diagnostic context leading to concern for malignancy, despite the underlying diagnosis being endometriosis. As a single case report, the main limitation is that the findings cannot be generalized to broader populations and provides limited evidence beyond the described instance. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis localized to the urinary bladder wall that mimicked urinary bladder carcinoma.

Abstract

Although endometriosis is a common disease in women of reproductive age, urinary system endometriosis is an exceedingly rare disease that may cause important clinical problems. In this paper we discussed a 42-year-old woman who had urinary bladder endometriosis misdiagnosed as urinary bladder tumor in imaging modalities. The diagnosis of endometriosis was made by histopathological examination of the operative material after partial resection of the urinary bladder. Urinary bladder endometriosis causes nonspecific signs and symptoms in many patients. In female patients presenting with unexplained urinary symptoms the differential diagnosis should include urinary bladder endometriosis that may mimic urinary bladder cancer and lead to difficulties in making definitive preoperative diagnosis.
