The paper reports a case of a 32-year-old multiparous woman with six months of cyclical bleeding and pain from a dark brown umbilical nodule. Ultrasound identified a subcutaneous umbilical nodule, and FNAC led to a diagnosis of umbilical endometriosis; diagnostic laparoscopy was then used to rule out associated pelvic endometriosis. The authors performed umbilical surgery (umbilectomy) for treatment, with the paper describing this clinical course without an additional stated limitation beyond its single-case design. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it documents primary umbilical endometriosis with associated diagnostic steps and management.

Abstract

A 32 year old, Para 2 with normal vaginal delivery presented with cyclical bleeding from a dark brown painful umbilical nodule for 6 months. The ultra sonogram showed a subcutaneous nodule at the umbilicus without any other abnormality. FNAC of the nodule diagnosed it as a case of umbilical endometriosis. A diagnostic laparosopy ruled out any associated pelvic endometriosis. Umbilectomy was done for the treatment of the condition.
