Umbilical Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the implantation of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Common symptoms include cyclical pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. Although endometriosis can spread to various extrauterine locations including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and peritoneal surfaces, umbilical endometriosis is a rare manifestation of the disease. We report an intriguing clinical case of primary umbilical endometriosis in a 36-year-old female patient admitted to our department due to the notable manifestation of a painful swelling at the umbilicus, accompanied by cyclic episodes of bleeding...

Background : The umbilicus is a fibrous remnant located in the centre of the abdomen. Various entities may be encountered in this special anatomical location; however, little is known about their dermoscopic presentation. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive summary of existing evidence on dermoscopic features of umbilical lesions. Methods : Studies assessing dermoscopic images of umbilical lesions were included in this study. No age, ethnicity or skin phototype restrictions were applied. Papers assessing lesions outside of the umbilical area, lacking dermoscopic images and/or dermoscopic description and not related to the topic were excluded...

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To highlight a case where a nephroureterectomy and partial bladder cystectomy needed to be done due to endometriosis. DESIGN: A video article demonstrating a case study and the surgical management. SETTING: Ureteral endometriosis is a complex form of endometriosis [1]. If left untreated, the ureter can become significantly compressed leading to hydroureter, hydronephrosis and complete loss of kidney function [2]. INTERVENTIONS: This is a case of a 29-year-old patient with pelvic pain and cyclical rectal bleeding...

Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is one of the rarest forms of endometriosis. Little is known about differences between umbilical AWE (U-AWE) and non-umbilical AWE (non-U-AWE) patients. This retrospective cohort study included patients treated for AWE at tertiary endometriosis centre between 2012 and 2020. Patients were divided into two groups - umbilical AWE and non-umbilical AWE.We identified 14 U-AWE and 45 non-U-AWE patients who mostly had lesions in caesarean section scar (38, 64.4%), rarely at other locations (7, 11...

BACKGROUND: In laparoscopic surgery, the trocar is often inserted through the umbilicus because of the ease of insertion and inconspicuous postoperative scar formation. However, postoperative complications that require plastic surgical intervention may occur to the umbilicus. METHODS: We reviewed 14 patients who received plastic surgery for umbilical issues following gynecologic laparoscopic surgery in our department from January 2015 to September 2021. RESULTS: Most complications requiring umbilical surgery post gynecologic laparoscopic surgery include local infections, scar contractures, ectopic endometriosis, and umbilical necrosis...

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a gynecological pathology defined by the presence and abnormal development of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Our objective was to draw up an epidemiological profile and to describe the anatomical clinical forms of endometriosis in Dakar. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of all cases of external and internal endometriosis diagnosed in an anatomy and pathology laboratory in Dakar over a period of twenty (20) years...

OBJECTIVES: The study investigated the stem cell expression profiles and differentiation capacities of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from different tissues, specifically human eutopic endometrium MSCs (eut-MSCs), ectopic endometrium MSCs (ect-MSCs), and umbilical cord MSCs (UC-MSCs). Our aim was to identify any similarities in subpopulations among these MSCs and lay a foundation for MSCs repair. MATERIAL AND METHODS: MSCs were isolated from endometrial tissue (n = 5), endometriosis tissue (n = 6), and umbilical cords (n = 7)...

Cutaneous endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrium or endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterine cavity, is an uncommon and chronic disease. Depending on a patient's history, cutaneous endometriosis is classified as either primary cutaneous endometriosis (PCE) or secondary cutaneous endometriosis (SCE). We report a case of SCE presenting with the classic triad of previous caesarean section, subcutaneous nodules at the site of the scar, and pain associated with menstruation. Considering histopathology as the standard, we confirmed a diagnosis of cutaneous endometriosis by ultrasound and histopathology...

Villar's nodule is a rare presentation of endometriosis. Only a few cases report coexistence with uterine fibroids and infertility. We report an incidental discovery of a bleeding umbilical lesion confirmed as Villar's nodule in a 37-year-old woman with primary infertility who presented for myomectomy on account of leiomyomas.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore whether umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) could be used as a therapeutic resource for endometriosis. METHODS: Of seven cynomolgus monkeys with endometriosis, five were administered UC-MSCs (intervention group) and two were administered saline (control group). First, intravenous US-MSC treatment was administered for three months. Second, weekly intravenous US-MSC administration combined with monthly intraperitoneal US-MSC administration was conducted for 3 months...

OBJECTIVE: To identify surgical manipulations that caused ureter injury during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and evaluate the surgical manipulations to identify ways to prevent such injury. Patients and Methods . This single-center, cross-sectional study included 1135 cases of TLH performed for benign diseases from January 2009 to December 2021. Seven cases (0.6%) that needed ureteral stent placement intra- or postoperatively for ureter injury were included. We identified the surgical manipulations that caused ureter injury from surgical videos...

Umbilical endometriosis is a rare manifestation, most often isolated, of endometriosis, accounting for 0,5-1 % of all cases. It can be primary or secondary following surgery. It usually presents as a solid, skin-colored, red or purple-black nodule, frequently associated with pain and/or perimenstrual bleeding. Because it has a potential for malignant transformation, the gold standard of treatment is surgical removal.

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a benign nevertheless a chronic condition which impacts greatly the quality of life through cyclic discomfort. We aim to report the case of umbilical endometriosis and a literature review of the different treatment modalities. CASE REPORT: This was a case of a 43-year-old woman, with no history, who presented with a painful hemorrhagic umbilical swelling during the menstrual period associated with dysmenorrhea. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a subcutaneous umbilical mass of non-vascularized tissue nature confirmed on Doppler...

BACKGROUND Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP), defined as nontraumatic, acute intra-abdominal bleeding during pregnancy or the postpartum period, is a serious life-threatening complication to mother and child. Endometriosis is a major risk factor for SHiP. This study presents the case of a 41-year-old woman with adenomyosis who developed hemoperitoneum due to endometriosis at 28 weeks of pregnancy. CASE REPORT The patient was a 41-year-old woman (gravida 1, para 0) who conceived via artificial insemination...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Endometriosis is one of the most frequent gynecologic disorders, clinically confirmed or suspected in one of nine women by the age of 44 years. Its location of occurrence can be classified into intra and extra pelvic. Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is one of its rare location, with frequency of 0.04 to 5.5 %. Furthermore there are only a few cases of AWE in Indonesia that have been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we present two Indonesian patients at a General Hospital in Tangerang, Indonesia...

Routine histopathological examination of hernia sac in adults remains a controversial topic. We undertook a retrospective study to assess possible clinical benefits of pathological examination of hernia sac specimens. Our pathology database between 1992 and 2020 was searched for adult specimens submitted as hernia sac. The clinical and pathological data of patients with abnormal histopathological findings were reviewed. There were 5424 hernia sac specimens (3722 inguinal, 1625 umbilical, and 77 femoral), 32/5424 (0...

BACKGROUND: Unusual ectopic growth of endometrial tissue in the umbilicus of a patient who has not undergone surgery is known as primary umbilical endometriosis. When a patient presents with an umbilical nodule, whether or not they have symptoms, it is critical to have a high index of suspicion. CASE SUMMARY: Here, we present a rare case of umbilical endometriosis with concurrent endometrial hyperplasia in a 40-year-old para II patient from Western Ethiopia. A total abdominal hysterectomy and umbilical nodule excision were performed under general anesthesia...

UNLABELLED: Extrapelvic endometriosis is quite rare, with a reported prevalence ranging between 0.5 and 1%, and the condition is more likely to pose diagnostic challenges. This condition is more likely to pose clinical diagnostic challenges as it may mimic metastasis such as Sister Mary Joseph's nodule. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein is reported the case of a 36-year-old woman who presented with a hard nodular dark-bluish umbilicus mass that had a tendency to increase in size and was accompanied by severe pain during menstruation for ∼2 years is reported...

Endometriosis is an estrogen dominant, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus. The most common symptoms experienced by patients include manifestations of chronic pelvic pain- such as pain with urination, menstruation, or defecation, and infertility. Alterations to Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), a cytokine produced by the luminal and glandular epithelium of the endometrium that is imperative for successful pregnancy, have been postulated to contribute to infertility...
