Abstract

Ureteral endometriosis is a rare form of endometriotic lesion. It can be intrinsic or extrinsic, intrinsic being more rare than extrinsic. Extrinsic ureteral involvement can lead to silent damage to the kidneys. It is commonly seen in women with rectovaginal endometriosis. They present with a variety of symptoms from flank pain to hematuria. Though it responds to medical management, it will require definitive surgical intervention such as a simple cyst excision to the extent of ureteric resection and reanastamosis.
