This case report describes a unique clinical presentation in which a patient presented with primary umbilical endometriosis, left ovarian endometriomas, and multiple uterine myomas without any prior surgical history. The authors utilized ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging to characterize the distinct features of these coexisting pathologies, emphasizing that umbilical endometriosis should remain a differential diagnosis for umbilical masses even in the absence of previous operations. They note that while endometriosis and uterine fibroids are independently linked to infertility, their simultaneous occurrence with primary umbilical involvement is exceptionally rare and has not been previously documented in the literature. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the rare coexistence of primary umbilical and ovarian forms with uterine fibroids.

Abstract

Endometriosis and uterine fibroids are both independently associated with infertility/subfertility among women of reproductive age. Primary umbilical endometriosis is very rare and usually does not coexist with ovarian endometriomas. Endometriosis coexisting with uterine myomas has only been reported in few publications. Herein, we presented a patient with primary umbilical endometriosis with no previous history of surgery, with left ovarian endometriomas coexisting with multiple uterine fibroids. The diagnosis of umbilical endometriosis should be kept in mind while evaluating an umbilical mass. The ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging features of endometriosis and uterine myomas have been presented. To the best of our knowledge, a similar case has not been reported before.
