Description

A 48-year-old female was found to have right flank pain at another hospital and transabdominal ultrasonography showed right hydronephrosis. She was referred to our department for further examination. She had undergone right oophorectomy and total hysterectomy 3 years before. Intravenous pyelography showed right hydronephrosis and retrograde pyelography revealed ureteral stenosis at the lower portion of the right ureter. Endometriosis had developed at the site of previous surgery on the appendix. A mass was formed in an extensive area including the endometriotic lesion, due to adhesion following previous surgery or other reasons, and extended to the retroperitoneum, thereby inducing right ureteral stenosis. The postoperative course was uneventful. The pathological diagnosis was endometriosis of the residual appendix.
