We present a case of intrinsic ureteral endometriosis causing ureteral stenosis in a 40-year's old woman, in combination with intestinal, extensive peritoneal and ovarian endometriosis.

We present a female patient with an excised AM who was submitted to our Nuclear Medicine department for sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping of the area.
