Endometriosis is a common condition that affects as many as 10% to 20% of women of reproductive age. Because of the subtle clinical signs and symptoms and limitations of imaging methods, the diagnosis is frequently delayed or missed, with serious consequences including hypertension, hydronephrosis, and loss of kidney function. We present an unusual case of recurrent ureteric endometriosis in a postmenopausal woman to highlight the challenges of screening for and management of endometriosis.
子宫内膜异位症是一种常见的疾病,影响着多达 10%至 20%的育龄妇女。由于临床体征和症状不明显,以及影像学方法的局限性,诊断常常被延误或漏诊,导致严重后果,包括高血压、肾积水和肾功能丧失。我们报告了一例绝经后妇女复发性输尿管子宫内膜异位症的罕见病例,以强调对子宫内膜异位症进行筛查和管理的挑战。
