Ureteral endometriosis: A rare cause of silent obstructive uropathy

Abstract

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of active endometrial

tissue outside the uterine cavity affecting 15% of women at

reproductive age. Ureteral endometriosis (UE) is a rare type of

endometrial involvement affecting 0.1% - 1% of women with

endometriosis. UE is quite uncommon and underdiagnosed

because of the patients’ nonspecific symptoms of endometriosis.

However, it is important to diagnose and manage UE treatment

since it can lead to renal failure due to silent obstruction of

the ureter. This case report describes a woman who presented

with cyclic pelvic pain and left flank pain. Imaging studies and

laparoscopic findings revealed bilateral endometrioma and deep

infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) findings resulting in extrinsic

infiltration of the ureter and hydronephrosis.

Üreteral endometriozis: Nadir görülen sessiz obstrüktif üropati nedeni

Abstract

Doğurganlık dönemindeki kadınların %15 oranında etkilendiği endometriozis, fonksiyonel endometrial dokunun uterus kavitesi dışında yerleşmesiyle karakterize bir hastalıktır. Üreteral endometriozis nadir görülen bir tutulum şekli olup endometriozis hastalarında yaklaşık %0.1-%1 oranında görülür. Hastaların endometriozise bağlı nonspesifik şikayetleri nedeniyle tanıda gözden kaçabilir. Tanısının konularak tedavi planlaması son derece önem gerektirir, çünkü sessiz üriner obstrüksiyona neden olduğundan gecikme böbrek yetmezliği ile sonlanabilir. Çalışmamızda, siklik pelvik ağrı ve sol yan ağrısı nedeniyle başvuran kadın hastada bilateral endometrioma ve derin infiltran endometriozis bulguları sonucunda ureterde ekstrensek tip endometrial infiltrasyon ve hidronefrozun görüntüleme yöntemleri ile tespit edilmesi ve laparoskopi bulguları literatür eşliğinde sunulmaktadır.
