This paper reviews and reports a rare case of ureteral endometriosis in a 44-year-old multiparous woman, framed within a brief literature review. It describes endometriosis as extrauterine nonneoplastic endometrial tissue, notes typical age range of diagnosis, and provides background estimates that genitourinary involvement occurs in about 1% to 2% of cases. The central contribution is the case presentation that emphasizes ureteral endometriosis is difficult to diagnose and requires a high index of suspicion. Relevance to endometriosis: the paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically ureteral endometriosis causing genitourinary involvement.

[email protected] | | | | | | ABSTRACT | | Endometriosis represents extrauterine nonneoplastic endometrial tissue. It is most commonly diagnosed in women of childbearing age, with a peak age of 40 to 44 years. The incidence of genitourinary involvement ranges from 1% to 2%. Ureteral endometriosis is a rare entity, and its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. We report a case of ureteral endometriosis in a 44-year-old multiparous woman with a brief review of literature. | | Keywords: Endometriosis; Hydronephrosis; Ureter | |
