Sammanfattning

Ureteral endometriosis is a rare variant of an otherwise common condition, which is primarily seen among premenopausal women. The symptoms and the clinical findings include silent loss of kidney function, gross haematuria, abdominal pain, hypertension and tumour suspicion. We present a rare case of intrinsic ureteral endometriosis resulting in a life-threatening infection and loss of a kidney. Involvement of gynaecologists for early diagnosis and medical treatment in combination with surgical intervention could be of importance in order to prevent the serious consequences as described in this case.
