Abstract

Endometriosis is a severely debilitating disease which affects primarily women of reproductive age. Endometriotic nodules involving the urinary tract is less common and can occur in 1–2% of all patients with endometriosis, and affects the bladder in 90% of these cases. In this article we report two cases of bladder endometriosis in two young females who were referred for macroscopic haematuria and the finding of exophytic intravesical lesions by transabdominal ultrasound imaging. In both cases a transurethral resection of the bladder lesions was performed. There was no evidence of symptoms or cystoscopic relapse in the follow-up period.
