Background: Endometriosis is deposition of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Isolated Bladder
endometriosis in absence of uterine endometriosis is a less frequent event .The presence of pregnancy in these
situations is even rarer. The clinical presentation may be lack of any symptoms, dysmennorhea, dyspareunia,
excessive or irregular menstrual bleeding, lower urinary tract symptoms, hematuria or recurrent urinary tract
infections. We present a unique case of bladder endometriosis in a 10 weeks pregnant female mimicking
bladder growth that underwent transurethral resection with histopathology confirming the diagnosis of
endometriosis
