Abstract:
Cutaneous endometriosis seems to be more common in women who have had a pelvic or abdominal operation and primary cutaneous endometriosis is very rare. In our hospital we experienced a 41-year-old woman who complained of the appearance at the umbilicus of a nodule and had not had operation. This nodule was responsible for recurrent pain and increasing in size and it was excised. Pathology findings revealed cutaneous endometriosis. So we present a case of primary cutaneous endometriosis with a brief review of literature.
