Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment strategy of umbilical endometriosis.Methods:The clinical data of 4 cases with umbilical endometriosis were analyzed and the related literatures were reviewed.Results:Ectopic umbilical endarterectomy was performed in 4 patients. Histopathology showed that there were endometrial glands, stroma and macrophages containing hemosiderin in subdermal fibrous tissue, which was confirmed asumbilical endometriosis.Conclusion:The incidence rate of umbilical endometriosis is low, but there is a possibility of recurrence and malignant transformation. Gynecological examination should be emphasized in clinic. Early detection and early treatment should be paid attention to, and combined with pathological biopsy, diagnosis should be made to reduce missed diagnosis and improve the cure rate.
