Abstract
Endometriosis is characterised by endometrial tissue outside the confines of the endometrium in the uterus. Whilst commonly occurring in regions such as the ovaries or fallopian tubes, it is exceedingly uncommon for endometriosis to appear in the umbilical region. This condition may produce a painful and aesthetically unfavourable presentation for sufferers, and can be amendable to surgical excision of the lesion. This case outlines a very rare case of umbilical endometriosis that was managed by an Australian general surgical team.
