Abstract

Objective. To present a clinical case of diagnosis and surgical treatment of one of the forms of extragenital endometriosis – umbilical ring endometriosis. Materials and methods. A clinical case of patient M., 33 years old, female, with diagnosed and operated endometrial heterotopia in the projection of the soft tissues of the umbilical region. Results. The probable role of the migration theory of the pathogenesis of endometriosis is demonstrated due to the lack of a history of surgical treatment in this area. Conclusion. The migration theory of the pathogenesis of endometriosis can be explained by the mechanism of retrograde penetration of endometrial cells through blood and/or lymphatic vessels from the pelvic cavity.
