This paper reports a primary umbilical endometriosis case in a 41-year-old woman who had several months of cyclical bleeding from the umbilicus coinciding with menstruation, without any prior abdominal trauma or surgery. Physical examination showed a small, firm nodule with blood secretion, and abdominal ultrasonography suggested umbilical endometriosis; the patient underwent total excision of the umbilical nodule, and histopathology confirmed endometrial tissue. A key limitation is that, as a single case report, it provides no comparative data and reflects the diagnostic and management course of one patient. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically primary umbilical endometriosis presenting as cyclical umbilical bleeding confirmed by histopathology.

Abstract

Abstract: Primary umbilical endometriosis (PUE) is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in the umbilicus without a prior history of surgery, often accompanied by cyclical bleeding corresponding to the menstrual cycle. We reported a 41-year-old woman presented with cyclical bleeding from the umbilicus, coinciding with her menstrual periods for several months. Physical examination revealed a small, firm nodule with blood secretion at the umbilicus. The patient had no history of abdominal trauma or previous surgery. Abdominal ultrasonography suggested a diagnosis of umbilical endometriosis. The patient underwent total excision of the umbilical nodule, and histopathological examination confirmed the presence of endometrial tissue. This PUE should be considered as a differential diagnosis in reproductive-age women presenting with umbilical bleeding associated with the menstrual cycle. In this case, the absence of surgical history made the diagnosis of PUE more evident. Surgical treatment with total excision is the main therapeutic option to prevent recurrence. Post-excision histopathological examination is crucial to confirm the diagnosis. This study highlights the importance of clinical awareness of this rare condition to ensure early diagnosis. In conclusion, PUE is a rare condition that should be suspected in patients with the characteristic symptom of cyclical umbilical bleeding. Surgical excision with histopathological confirmation is the standard treatment, with a good prognosis and minimal risk of recurrence.

Abstract

Primary umbilical endometriosis (PUE) is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in the umbilicus without a prior history of surgery, often accompanied by cyclical bleeding corresponding to the menstrual cycle. We reported a 41-year-old woman presented with cyclical bleeding from the umbilicus, coinciding with her menstrual periods for several months. Physical examination revealed a small, firm nodule with blood secretion at the umbilicus. The patient had no history of abdominal trauma or previous surgery. Abdominal ultrasonography suggested a diagnosis of umbilical endometriosis. The patient underwent total excision of the umbilical nodule, and histopathological examination confirmed the presence of endometrial tissue. This PUE should be considered as a differential diagnosis in reproductive-age women presenting with umbilical bleeding associated with the menstrual cycle. In this case, the absence of surgical history made the diagnosis of PUE more evident. Surgical treatment with total excision is the main therapeutic option to prevent recurrence. Post-excision histopathological examination is crucial to confirm the diagnosis. This study highlights the importance of clinical awareness of this rare condition to ensure early diagnosis. In conclusion, PUE is a rare condition that should be suspected in patients with the characteristic symptom of cyclical umbilical bleeding. Surgical excision with histopathological confirmation is the standard treatment, with a good prognosis and minimal risk of recurrence.
