ABSTRACT
Spontaneous umbilical endometriosis is a rare form of extrapelvic endometriosis that is usually confused with other surgical or dermatological conditions leading to delay in diagnosis. We report a case of a 32-year-old woman presenting with a painful nodule in the umbilicus. A complete umbilical resection was done and sent for histopathological examination, confirming the diagnosis of umbilical endometriosis. Increasing awareness of this condition among clinicians can help in early diagnosis and treatment with gratifying results.
Keywords: Endometriosis; umbilicus; umbilical resection.
