Abstract
Endometriosis with involvement of urinary tract is a rare occurrence. It is a chronic condition with presence of endometrial tissue outside uterine cavity. Most likely location is peritoneal surface of pelvis. We present a case of 32 year old female presenting with pelvic pain. On sonography bladder mass was detected. Transurethral resection of bladder mass revealed foci of endometriosis with mild inflammation in stroma. The diagnosis relies on identification of atleast two of the three components: endometrial glands, endometrial stromal cells or recent or old haemorrhage. Endometriosis with minimal stroma should be differentiated from invasive adenocarcinoma of the bladder. This case reports demonstrates that endometriosis in bladder although rare should always be ruled out by proper histological examination and save patient from unnecessary overtreatment.
