Endometriosis primaria: un diagnóstico diferencial dentro de las lesiones nodulares umbilicales

Abstract

La endometriosis umbilical primaria se caracteriza por la aparición de lesiones nodulares a nivel umbilical sin la presencia de intervenciones quirúrgicas abdominales previas ni presencia de endometriosis conocida en otras localizaciones. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 43 años que presenta dicha entidad. Con este caso queremos destacar la importancia del diagnóstico diferencial de las lesiones nodulares a nivel umbilical sobre todo en mujeres en edad fértil.The onset of umbilical nodules with no previous abdominal surgeries or known endometriosis in other locations characterizes primary umbilical endometriosis. We present a 43-year-old woman with a painful umbilical nodule for several months. We report this case to emphasize the importance of the differential diagnosis of umbilical nodules, especially in women during the reproductive period.
