This paper reports a case of primary umbilical endometriosis and provides a review of the relevant medical literature. The authors describe the clinical presentation and diagnostic work-up at a high level and synthesize prior reports on umbilical (extragenital) endometriosis, with discussion of management options. A key caveat is that, as a case report with literature review, it cannot establish causal mechanisms or the effectiveness of any specific approach beyond what has been reported in the literature. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically primary umbilical endometriosis presenting as an extragenital lesion.
