Abstract
- A case of unilateral ureteral obstruction owing to ureteral endometriosis is presented. Endometriosis in the genitourinary tract, especially, ureteral endometriosis is well known but uncommon disease. Obstructive uropathy secondary to endometriosis of the ureter has been reported sporadically since Cullen (1917) first reported an example of bilateral involvement of the ureter. In a recent review of literature, there have been more than 90 cases reported during the last decade. This case is operated under the impression of Rt. ureteral tuberculosis and documented by pathologic findings."
