This paper reports a case of secondary umbilical endometriosis and reviews the literature on its etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and treatment. The authors describe how secondary disease is linked to prior surgical procedures (in this case retossigmoidectomy) and summarize proposed mechanisms including retrograde menstrual flow, metaplastic transformation, and iatrogenic deposition during previous operations; symptoms cited include cyclical abdominal pain and cyclical umbilical bleeding, with diagnosis initiated by history and physical exam and confirmed via complementary testing such as pathological analysis. The paper states that the preferred treatment is total excision of the lesion with pathological examination, while hormonal treatments may support regression and help prevent recurrence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically umbilical endometriosis occurring after prior pelvic surgery (retossigmoidectomy).
