Abstract

Umbilical endometriosis is rare disease. A 45 year old woman with anemia, hypermenorrhea, and dysmenorrhea was diagnosed with a submucosal myoma and a right ovarian endometrioma. She underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy and right salpingo-oophorectomy. During the procedure, we noticed and umbilical nodule and extracted it. Pathological examination revealed that the mass was umbilical endometriosis. The umbilical region is a common site for laparoscopic procedures; thus, gynecologists should be aware of the possibility of umbilical endometriosis and possess the necessary skills to manage it surgically.
