A 45 year old woman with anemia, hypermenorrhea, and dysmenorrhea was diagnosed with a submucosal myoma and a right ovarian endometrioma. She underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy and right salpingo-oophorectomy. During the procedure, we noticed and umbilical nodule and extracted it. Pathological examination revealed that the mass was umbilical endometriosis. The umbilical region is a common site for laparoscopic procedures; thus, gynecologists should be aware of the possibility of umbilical endometriosis and possess the necessary skills to manage it surgically.\n© 2012 Japan Society of Gynecologic and Obstetric Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Therapy\nFavorites & Alerts\nRecently viewed articles","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
