Abstract

Umbilical endometriosis is a rare disease that has been known for a long time. Its frequency would be 1% of all other locations. It affects women in active genital activity with an average age of between 35 and 45 years. The main clinical aspect of umbilical endometriosis is that of a pigmented, papular or nodular lesion developed in the umbilical depression accentuated by the menstrual cycle. Only a biopsy makes it possible to pose the diagnosis with certainty. Surgery is a treatment of choice for the disease.
