Umbilical endometriosis, a rare condition affecting women of childbearing age, is best treated with surgical excision. This approach allows for complete tumor removal and histologic confirmation, addressing the limitations of medical therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Umbilical endometriosis is an uncommon manifestation of endometriosis, accounting for 0.5-1% of cases.
  • It primarily affects women of reproductive age, with a mean age around 40.

Observation:

  • This report details a specific case focusing solely on umbilical endometriosis.
  • Symptoms and diagnosis in women of childbearing age are highlighted.

Findings:

  • Medical treatments like progestogens or Danazol show inconsistent and partial efficacy for umbilical endometriosis.
  • Surgical excision, specifically omphalectomy with wide tumor removal and umbilical reconstruction, is the definitive treatment.

Implications:

  • Surgical intervention enables thorough histologic examination for accurate diagnosis.
