Endometriosis is known to occur frequently in adolescents with obstructed Müllerian anomalies. Our cases emphasize that endometriosis can rapidly progress to a severe stage in obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome, one of the completely obstructed Müllerian anomalies. The first patient was a 14-year-old girl who complained of cyclic abdominal pain. Imaging revealed a uterine didelphys with unilateral hematocolpos and a left adnexal endometrioma. The second, an 11-year-old girl, visited the hospital complaining of cyclic abdominal pain, had a unicornuate uterus with a functioning horn and left adnexal endometrioma. Also, both patients had unilateral renal agenesis. The surgery in both cases revealed Stage IV endometriosis. Adjuvant hormone therapy was administered for 1 year, and there was no recurrence until 3 years after surgery. We emphasize that patients diagnosed with renal agenesis should be screened to check for gynecological anomalies when menstrual cramps occur after menarche.
