A Rare Case of the Bladder Endometriosis and Overview of the Literature

Endometriosis is a chronic, non-cancerous condition characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Isolated involvement of the bladder is rare and often part of a broader deep infiltrating pelvic endometriosis. Bladder endometriosis should be considered in cases of unexplained dysuria and urinary symptoms not clarified by imaging or pelvic examination. Magnetic resonance imaging can be used as a diagnostic aid. This case report presents two patients diagnosed with bladder endometriosis postoperatively. Conservative treatment with gestagen preparations was administered. After 3-6 months of follow-up, ultrasonography and symptom assessment showed no recurrence. Clinicians should be aware of bladder endometriosis as a potential cause of persistent urinary symptoms, given its rarity and often delayed diagnosis.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic, non-cancerous condition characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Isolated involvement of the bladder is rare and often part of a broader deep infiltrating pelvic endometriosis. Bladder endometriosis should be considered in cases of unexplained dysuria and urinary symptoms not clarified by imaging or pelvic examination. Magnetic resonance imaging can be used as a diagnostic aid. This case report presents two patients diagnosed with bladder endometriosis postoperatively. Conservative treatment with gestagen preparations was administered. After 3-6 months of follow-up, ultrasonography and symptom assessment showed no recurrence. Clinicians should be aware of bladder endometriosis as a potential cause of persistent urinary symptoms, given its rarity and often delayed diagnosis.
