    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 2000 Jun; 53(5):470-2. PubMed ID: 10961014.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report a case of ureteral endometriosis, an uncommon disease in the urological practice that is diagnosed late and may cause irreversible damage to the upper urinary tract. METHODS/RESULTS: A case of unilateral ureteral endometriosis is presented. After attempting hormonal therapy and endourological management, the patient eventually underwent aggressive surgical treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of ureteral endometriosis should be considered in women presenting with noncalculous renal obstruction, particularly premenopausal women of low parity or those who have had previous pelvic surgery. Only a high index of suspicion and the radiological supports may help to reduce the number of alarming nephrectomies associated to this condition.
