Abstract

Highlights • We present an unusual case of umbilical endometriosis and huge uterine leiomyomas with marked hydropic and cystic degeneration. • Although umbilical tumors are uncommon, the differential diagnosis should include umbilical endometriosis, particularly in reproductive-age women. • Umbilical endometriosis can be suspected from the clinical presentation, but the diagnosis should be confirmed with histological examination.
