Abstract

Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial stroma outside the uterine cavity. Endometrioma (chocolate cyst) is the most common form of endometriosis. Primary umbilical endometriosis (PUE) is rare, with a prevalence of < 1% of endometriosis cases. Our case is a 25-year-old nulliparous female with a three-year history of infertility presenting with primary umbilical endometriosis and an abdomino-pelvic ultrasonography finding of a right endometrioma, and a solitary intramural uterine myoma. These three findings in a patient are a rare occurrence. Abdominopelvic ultrasound and excision biopsy was performed to arrive at a diagnosis.
