- Abstract:
- Umbilical endometriosis is a rare type of extragenital endometriosis. The correct diagnosis is often difficult since most patients present with uncharacteristic symptoms. We report on a 34-year-old woman who presented to our hospital with the suspicion of an umbilical, melanocytic tumor. A reddish nodule at her umbilicus had been growing since 6 months. Local anti-inflammatory therapy remained without effect. Except for moderate periumbilical pain the patient was asymptomatic. The tumor exhibited a characteristic dermatoscopic finding, i.e. red globuli in erythematous, hyperemic tissue. Local excision revealed cutaneous endometriosis without any signs of further endometriosis manifestations.
