Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue (gland and stroma) outside the uterus. The most frequent sites of implantation are the pelvic viscera and the peritoneum. About 1% of woman with endometriosis have urinary tract lesions, of which 85% involve the bladder. We report one case of vesical endometriosis that have been treated by partial cystectomy.
