Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue implants outside the uterine cavity, which can cause cyclic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. Endometriosis implants are typically seen on pelvic peritoneal surfaces and extra-pelvic disease is uncommon. We present an interesting case of primary umbilical endometriosis in a patient who presented with umbilical bleeding with a history of pelvic inflammatory disease complicated by bilateral tubo-ovarian abscesses. She was found to have an umbilical mass, which was resected, and the pathology was consistent with endometriosis. The objective of this case report is to detail the case and discuss diagnosis and management of umbilical endometriosis. It is important to recognize that umbilical endometriosis can occur in patients with no surgical history.
子宫内膜异位症是一种子宫内膜组织在子宫腔外植入的病症，可导致周期性疼痛、痛经、性交困难和不孕。子宫内膜异位症植入物通常见于盆腔腹膜表面，盆腔外疾病并不常见。我们报告一例原发性脐部子宫内膜异位症的有趣病例，该患者因脐部出血就诊，有盆腔炎病史并伴有双侧输卵管卵巢脓肿。她被发现有一个脐部肿物，已切除，病理结果与子宫内膜异位症相符。本病例报告的目的是详细描述该病例，并讨论脐部子宫内膜异位症的诊断和治疗。必须认识到，无手术史的患者也可能发生脐部子宫内膜异位症。
