“…TVS was superior to cystoscopy and at least as effective as MRI in diagnosing and planning surgery for BE. The authors of this study suggested that 3D acquisition may improve endometriotic nodule localization and evaluation of its size, volume, and infiltration of the bladder wall in comparison to two-dimensional TVS [66].…”

“…Several studies have compared these imaging modalities in the aim of determining the optimal noninvasive method for diagnosis. [21][22][23][24] Unlike rectovaginal or rectal deep infiltrative endometriosis, there is a lack of consensus in the ideal imaging technique for evaluating bladder endometriosis, with some studies demonstrating advantages with ultrasound, some showing benefits of MRI, and others yet showing similar diagnostic accuracy.…”

Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility and disabling pelvic pain in reproductive age women. The most widely accepted theory of its pathogenesis is the retrograde flow of menstrual products, although extra-abdominal and extrapelvic diagnoses have been made. After the pelvic peritoneum and gynecologic structures, the most commonly affected sites are the lower gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. When the urinary tract is involved, the bladder is the predominant site, followed by the ureters. The focus of this seminar will thus be these two anatomic sites. Delayed diagnosis is unfortunately common for endometriosis as a whole, but more so when extrapelvic sites are involved. While the first-line therapy for endometriosis is medical management, urinary tract involvement often represents advanced stage of the disease, thereby requiring surgical intervention. With timely diagnosis and intervention by skilled gynecologic or urologic surgeons, favorable outcomes can be attained.

“…In cases of advanced cervical cancer, the lesion clearly involves the cervix and very often lateral parametrial and paracervical tissues. 26 Three-dimensional US was proposed as a useful tool to assess bladder endometriosis mainly for the assessment of the distance between the nodule and the ureters and the trigone, 27 especially in cases of large nodules (see case 5; Figure 1, asterisks). Nevertheless, this technique adds very little to the potential differential diagnosis from bidimensional US.…”

Endometriosis of the urinary tract is a rare condition that may lead to severe complications. At present, the major challenge appears to be the ultrasound differential diagnosis with diseases that can afflict the ureter and the bladder. Preoperative scan findings were compared with surgical and histologic records. Twenty-three cases were selected as being of interest, as they were referred for suspected endometriosis, whereas second-level ultrasound revealed a different disease in some cases. This case series aims to help in becoming familiar with the possible differential diagnosis of lesions of the urinary tract that resemble endometriosis.
