This 2013 case report describes urinary tract endometriosis, noting that urinary tract involvement is rare and most often affects the bladder, with the ureter as the next common site. The authors report a case of bladder endometriosis in which the condition was suspected before surgery and then confirmed by histopathological examination of excised tissue, emphasizing that bladder endometriosis is difficult to diagnose pre-operatively due to its varied clinical presentation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it presents a case report of bladder (urinary tract) endometriosis and how it was confirmed histopathologically.

Endometriosis affecting the urinary tract is rare and when involved it predominantly affects the bladder, followed by the ureter. The diagnosis of bladder endometriosis is difficult because of its varied clinical presentation. Here we report a case of bladder endometriosis, which was suspected pre-operatively and was confirmed after the histo pathological examination of the excised tissue.
