Enlarged Umbilical Hernia Forming A Skin Ulcer : Our Case Report

Umbilical hernias are common, but complications such as skin ulceration due to chronic tension are rare. We present a unique case of a female patient with a long-standing umbilical hernia that led to a full-thickness skin ulcer. Surprisingly, her primary concern was ulcer healing rather than hernia repair. Symptoms such as constipation and feeling of heaviness disappeared after mesh repair of the hernia.
