Abstract

La endometriosis umbilical es la forma clínica más común de endometriosis extrapélvica y el tipo más habitual de endometriosis cutánea. Puede ser primaria o secundaria. Las endometriosis umbilicales secundarias se producen sobre cicatrices de laparotomías o laparoscopias en las que ha habido exposición al tejido endometrial. La endometriosis umbilical es relativamente rara, pero se debe tener en cuenta al realizar el diagnóstico diferencial de lesiones de localización umbilical. Presentamos un caso de endometriosis umbilical en una mujer de 39 años sin antecedentes de cirugía abdominal previa. Umbilical endometriosis is the most common clinical form of extrapelvic and cutaneous endometriosis and can be primary or secondary. Secondary umbilical endometriosis is produced in surgical scars from laparotomy or laparoscopy with exposure to endometrial tissue. Umbilical endometriosis is a rare disease but must be considered in the differential diagnosis of an umbilical node. We report a case of umbilical endometriosis in a 39-year-old woman without previous abdominal surgery.
