Abstract

A 5-cm umbilical endometriotic lesion associated with a nodule of the posterior aspect of the cervix was discovered in a 32-year-old woman who was consulting for primary infertility. Histological examination of these lesions confirmed smooth muscle hyperplasia that was infiltrated by numerous endometrial glands (adenomyosis).
