Abstract

A 42-year-old woman had noticed a painful and bleeding tumor at the umbilicus over a period of 6 months. Physical examination revealed a smooth-surfaced, hard, brown tumor of 1 cm in diameter. Biopsy specimen showed endometrial composed of one layer of columnar epithelium. The lesion was diagnosed as umbilical endometriosis. Transvaginal ultrasound and abdominal MRI examination revealed bilateral ovarian endometrial cysts. A large endometrial cyst on the left ovary and the umbilical tumor were removed surgically. This case suggests that when we see a patient with umbilical endometriosis, we should also consider the possibility of intrapelvic endometriosis, such as ovarian endometriosis, and consult a gynecologist.
