Abstract

A 39-year-old woman with a history of prolonged and excessive vaginal bleeding and bleeding from the umbilicus was found to have umbilical endometriosis. The umbilicus was excised following hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Umbilical endometriosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of umbilical lesions.
