This paper describes primary umbilical endometriosis as a rare condition, accounting for about 0.5–1% of extragenital endometriosis, and notes that its clinical presentation is typical for endometriosis. It states that the standard management involves complete excision of the umbilical lesion. A key point emphasized is the need to include primary umbilical endometriosis in the differential diagnosis of an umbilical nodule. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically primary umbilical endometriosis.
