Abstract

Urinary tract endometriosis is present in approximately 1% of women. Bladder endometriosis (BE) is defined as presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the detrusor muscle. Close collaboration of the urologists and gynecologists in dealing with urinary tract endometriosis is necessary in order to establish both the correct diagnostic procedure and the most adequate management. Presented here is the case of a 42-year old female, G3P3 (3003), who presented with intermittent episodes of right-sided flank pain four months post-hysterectomy. She was initially diagnosed to have a bladder tumor and underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed endometriosis.
