The Authors present a case of umbilical endometriosis. A 38-year-old female presented with a nodule in her umbilical region. The nodule was brownish in colour and had enlarged slowly, reaching a size of 2 cm in diameter over the previous 7 months. The patient had no symptoms and there was no bleeding or pain during menstruation. The nodule was removed under local anaesthesia and histological examination was diagnostic for umbilical endometriosis. No recurrence occurred over a follow-up period of 7 months and the patient is in good general condition. Umbilical endometriosis is a very rare disease, but should be borne in mind in the differential diagnosis of umbilical lesions.
作者报告了一例脐部子宫内膜异位症病例。一名38岁女性脐部区域出现一个结节。该结节呈褐色，缓慢增大，在过去7个月中直径达到2厘米。患者无症状，月经期间无出血或疼痛。在局部麻醉下切除该结节，组织学检查诊断为脐部子宫内膜异位症。在7个月的随访期内未出现复发，患者总体状况良好。脐部子宫内膜异位症是一种非常罕见的疾病，但在脐部病变的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。
