Abstract

Background

Umbilical endometriosis is a rare entity accounting for 0.5–4% of cases with endometriosis.

Case presentation

Here we report a rare case of umbilical endometriosis with concurrent ovarian endometriomas in a 37-year old primiparous Iranian woman.

Conclusion

This interesting coexistence reflects the importance of thorough gynecological assessment in patients with cutaneous endometriosis to enable appropriate management.
