“…In cases of umbilical endometriosis, resection must be followed with umbilical reconstruction. Hamouie et al 12 reported a case of chronic abdominal wall endometriosis with invasion of the umbilicus and surrounding cutaneous tissue, in which they performed a novel four-flap umbilicoplasty technique to reconstruct the umbilicus as well as to add support to the inferior abdominal wall repair. Takaya et al 34 described a case of cutaneous endometriosis secondary to a cesarean section, in which they performed resection of the endometrial tissue and placement of synthetic mesh.…”

Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder described as the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterus, which can also be found in extrapelvic locations. Although patients seeking treatment for endometriosis usually present to gynecologists, there are rare cases of endometriosis encountered by plastic surgeons in routine practice, either incidentally or as a concomitant finding. Methods: We present a rare case of a 36-year-old woman with symptoms of panniculitis desiring panniculectomy. During surgery, an abdominal mass was excised and confirmed by pathological analysis to be endometriosis. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using the PubMed search engine of the National Institutes of Health to identify cases of endometriosis in plastic surgery. Following screening of the results, 14 articles were included in this analysis that fit the criteria of our search. Results: Of the 14 articles reviewed, cutaneous endometriosis was the most common subtype found in plastic surgery. None of the studies described findings of endometriosis in routine panniculectomies. Several identified endometriosis discovered during cosmetic abdominoplasties. Conclusions: Endometriosis encountered in plastic surgery is a rare but clinically important occurrence, with the cutaneous subtype representing the majority of cases. Endometriosis should always be on the differential diagnosis when an abdominal mass is found in a patient with a history of abdominal surgery. Abdominal masses found during routine aesthetic or reconstructive surgery should be submitted for tissue analysis to guide possible secondary treatments.

Introduction: Primary umbilical endometriosis, also known as Villar’s nodule, is a rare manifestation of endometriosis within the umbilicus. Case description: A 41-year-old female who presented with a 4-year history of umbilical swelling associated with cyclic umbilical bleeding, dysmenorrhoea and heavy menstrual bleeding is herewith reported. Imaging procedures revealed an umbilical mass and uterine leiomyomas. The patient underwent combined surgery by the gynaecology and plastic surgery teams where an open myomectomy followed by omphalectomy, mesh repair of the rectus sheath and panniculectomy was done. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptor-positive endometrial glands and stroma in the umbilicus consistent with primary umbilical endometriosis and coexistent uterine leiomyomas. Clinical improvement was demonstrated 3 months following the surgery. Conclusion: Umbilical swelling associated with catamenial symptoms should raise suspicion for primary umbilical endometriosis. Inter-specialty approach is key in the management of primary umbilical endometriosis.
