Umbilical Endometriosis: A New Dermoscopic Pattern
This paper describes a novel dermoscopic pattern observed in cases of umbilical endometriosis, characterized by specific visual features useful for diagnosis.

This paper describes umbilical endometriosis and introduces a new dermoscopic pattern, based on noninvasive dermatologic imaging findings. It focuses on characterizing visual dermoscopic features associated with primary umbilical endometriosis rather than studying underlying mechanisms, and it presents the pattern as a diagnostic description. A key limitation is that the evidence is based on a case-style report and therefore cannot establish sensitivity, specificity, or generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically primary umbilical endometriosis and its dermoscopic pattern.
