Abstract

Villar's nodule is a rare presentation of endometriosis. Only a few cases report coexistence with uterine fibroids and infertility. We report an incidental discovery of a bleeding umbilical lesion confirmed as Villar's nodule in a 37-year-old woman with primary infertility who presented for myomectomy on account of leiomyomas.
