Endosalpingiosis describes the ectopic growth of Fallopian tube epithelium. Pathology confirms the presence of a tube-like epithelium containing three types of cells: ciliated, columnar cells; non-ciliated, columnar secretory mucous cells; and intercalary cells.We report the case of a woman with umbilical endosalpingiosis and examine the nature and characteristics of cutaneous endosalpingiosis by reviewing and combining the other four cases existing in the international literature.
A 50-year-old Caucasian, Greek woman presented with a pale brown nodule in her umbilicus. The nodule was asymptomatic, with no cyclical discomfort or variation in size. Her personal medical, surgical and gynecologic history was uneventful. An excision within healthy margins was performed under local anesthesia. A cystic formation measuring 2.7×1.7×1 cm was removed. Histological examination confirmed umbilical endosalpingiosis.
Umbilical endosalpingiosis is a very rare manifestation of the non-neoplasmatic disorders of the Müllerian system. It appears with cyclic symptoms of pain and swelling of the umbilicus, but not always. The disease is diagnosed using pathologic findings and surgical excision is the definitive treatment.
输卵管内膜异位症描述的是输卵管上皮的异位生长。病理学证实存在一种管状上皮，包含三种类型的细胞：纤毛柱状细胞、非纤毛柱状分泌黏液细胞和闰细胞。我们报告一例患有脐部输卵管内膜异位症的女性病例，并通过回顾和整合国际文献中现有的其他四例病例，研究皮肤输卵管内膜异位症的性质和特征。
一名50岁的白种希腊女性，脐部出现一个淡褐色结节。该结节无症状，无周期性不适，大小也无变化。她的个人病史、手术史和妇科病史均无异常。在局部麻醉下进行了切缘阴性的切除手术。切除了一个大小为2.7×1.7×1厘米的囊性结构。组织学检查证实为脐部输卵管内膜异位症。
脐部输卵管内膜异位症是苗勒管系统非肿瘤性疾病的一种非常罕见的表现形式。它表现为脐部疼痛和肿胀的周期性症状，但并非总是如此。该病通过病理检查结果进行诊断，手术切除是 definitive treatment（此处原文有误，推测应为“决定性治疗”）。
