Abstract

Villar’s Nodule or primary umbilical endometrioma is a rare con-dition, with an estimated incidence of 0.5 to 1 % of all patients with endometrial ectopia. Several aetiological theories have been proposed for its pathogenesis with coelomic metaplasia being the favoured one and also, umbilicus may acts as a physiological scar with a predilection for endometrial tissue in the development of spontaneous umbilical endometriosis. Since endometriosis re-mains a diagnostic and therapeutic enigma even today, largely due to its variable presentations, we, hereby report a case of primary umbilical endometrioma due to its rarity and unusual presentation. Key Words: Umbilical; Endometriosis Primary umbilical endometrioma, also known as Villar’s Nodule is a rare condition, with an estimated incidence of 0.5 to 1 % of all
