This paper reports a rare case of bladder endometriosis in a 37-year-old woman presenting with urinary hesitancy, dysuria, suprapubic pain, and intermittent hematuria for one year, along with dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, dyspareunia, and pelvic pain for three years that did not follow a clear menstrual pattern. Using urinalysis and imaging (ultrasound, CT, and pelvic MRI) and a broad differential that included uterine mass, bladder neoplasm, foreign body, and sarcoma, the authors surgically excised a solid 3 cm posterior bladder wall mass; histopathology confirmed benign endometriosis. The main limitation is that this is a single preprint case report with no comparative diagnostic or treatment trial evidence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically bladder endometriosis presenting with atypical, non–menstruation-linked manifestations and confirmed by surgical excision and histopathology.
