Primary Umbilical Endometriosis (Villar’s Nodule): A Case Report

Primary umbilical endometriosis is a rare condition in which there is endometrial glands and stroma in the umbilicus. Primary umbilical endometriosis is also called villar's nodule. This condition is a diagnostic challenge, the pathophysiology of the disease is not well defined and should be considered in all other pathologies of the umbilicus. Surgery is the treatment of choice. Here we present a case of villar's nodule in a 33-years-old multiparous woman that was successfully treated with surgery.
