Abstract:
We report a case of umbilical endometriosis and review the literature about the finding. The patient was a 39-year-old woman who presented with 6 months of umbilical bleeding and pain during the first day of her period. A soft tissue ultrasound scan showed 2 superficial solid masses within the periumbilical subcutaneous adipose tissue, suggestive for ectopic endometriosis localization. We decided to remove the umbilical nodules, excising 1 cm of the surrounding tissue. Reports in the literature indicate cases of umbilical endometriosis in about 0.5%-1% of women with endometriosis.
