Abstract

Umbilical endometriosis is a rarest form of extrapelvic endometriosis, incidence being 0.5% - 1% of all extrapelvic endometriosis. In primary umbilical endometriosis there is no history of any previous abdominal and pelvic invasive procedures. Most patients present with an umbilical nodule which is associated with cyclical pain and bleeding from the lesion during menstrual cycle. It is mainly diagnosed clinically and is conrmed by histopathology. Surgery is the treatment of choice. Pre and post operative hormonal supplementation results in better outcome
