Article Synopsis
- Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition primarily affecting pelvic organs, but umbilical endometriosis is rare, occurring in only 0.5% to 1% of cases.
- A 35-year-old woman experienced umbilical bleeding and a nodule during menstruation, leading to a diagnosis of umbilical endometriosis after ultrasound and subsequent excision confirmed it histologically.
- This case highlights the need to consider endometriosis in differential diagnoses for umbilical swellings in women of reproductive age, due to the difficulty in diagnosing this uncommon variant.
