title: [Ureteral endometriosis. Review of the literature].
abstract: Ureteral endometriosis is an uncommon process. It should be suspected, however, in patients with known pelvian disease presenting urological sings and symptoms. It is important to establish early diagnosis which does not delay a conservative therapeutical approach, so as to avoid the progressive decline of renal function and, eventually, nephrectomy. Contribution of one case of extraluminar ureteral endometriosis fitting this hypothesis and review of the most appropriate etiology, sings and symptoms, diagnosis and therapeutical approach.
