Endometriosis of the bladder is an uncommon disease, but is common in gynecology. A 34-year-old woman visited us to be explored for the cause of microscopic hematuria and proteinuria, but gross hematuria had never been observed. Cystoscopic examination revealed a great number of pea size, hemispheric cysts on the trigone and the posterior wall of the bladder. Histopathological examination of the specimen taken by TU-biopsy showed vesical endometriosis. Danazol (17 alpha-Pregna-2, 4-dien-20-yno[2,3-d] isoxazol-17-ol) was given to induce menostasia and thereafter endoscopic findings and subjective symptoms were improved. Seventy-five cases of vesical endometriosis in the Japanese were reviewed.

The clinical presentation and work-up was indicative of protein-losing enteropathy. She developed an acute partial small bowel obstruction, and a presumptive diagnosis of lymphoma of the small intestine was entertained. Surgical resection of the terminal ileum revealed transmural involvement of the bowel by endometriosis. Her postoperative recovery was uneventful, with return of her serum albumin levels to normal.
