ABSTRACT

Endometriosis with urinary tract involvement frequency is estimated at 0.1-1.2% and 15-20% of cases present in the ureter.
The patient is a postmenopausal woman with symptomatology indicative of urinary tract infection. Radiographic studies revealed right ureteral obstruction and ureteral endometriosis was diagnosed by post-resection anatomopathological study of endometrial tissue.
This case is considered to be uncommon given that patient symptomatology did not fit clinical data reported in the literature.
