Background:
Unusual ectopic growth of endometrial tissue in the umbilicus of a patient who has not undergone surgery is known as primary umbilical endometriosis. When a patient presents with an umbilical nodule, whether or not they have symptoms, it is critical to have a high index of suspicion.
Case summary:
Here, we present a rare case of umbilical endometriosis with concurrent endometrial hyperplasia in a 40-year-old para II patient from Western Ethiopia. A total abdominal hysterectomy and umbilical nodule excision were performed under general anesthesia. After two months, she returned for a follow-up visit and was in good health.
Conclusion:
Primary umbilical endometriosis may coexist with endometrial hyperplasia. Hence, in order to provide suitable comprehensive management, a thorough gynecological evaluation is required.
