Primary umbilical endometriosis in a nulliparous woman: A rare case report
We aim to provide a detailed description of this case in order to support clinicians who may encounter similar cases in the future especially in resource poor settings. We are providing data to support the theory that primary umbilical endometriosis can occur spontaneously in patients without a surgical history. Enhancing clinician awareness of this condition and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration is fundamental in providing timely support in relation to fertility challenges and symptom relief.
