“…Current evidence suggests that ectopic endometrium usually results from transplantation of viable endometrial tissue, which is shed in retrograde manner through the fallopian tube at the time of menstruation (Sampson's theory) [10]. Factors that may favor intraperitoneal growth of viable endometrium have not Ihssane Hakimi et al: Endometriosis in the Bartholin Gland: A Case Report been identified, although impaired cellular immunity as well as increased exposure to retrograde menstruation may play a role.…”

Abstract:We report a case of endometriosis infiltrating the Bartholin gland. The initial diagnosis was a Bartholin gland cyst. The diagnosis was made during the operation when chocolate-colored fluid poured into operation field. The presence of endometriosis may be considered as a diagnosis in cases with cystic mass in the Bartholin gland. It's a rare case. Indeed, only few cases are reported in the literature.

“…Endometrioma formed within the gland of Bartholin is an extremely rare phenomenon. The ectopic endometrium usually results from transplantation of viable endometrial tissue, which is shed in retrograde manner through the fallopian tube at the time of menstruation (Sampson's theory) (5). Endometriosis may be accepted as an auto-transplant, in which normal endometrial tissue is adhered to an ectopic location in the organism.…”

We presented an extremely rare form of endometriosis presenting as a Bartholin gland cyst. A 39-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 2, experienced an enlarging mass of the left labium majus. Cystectomy was performed and histopathologic examination confirmed the presence of endometriosis. One year after operation, the patient is symptom free with no signs of cyst recurrence. Bartholin gland endometriosis should be kept in mind when women of reproductive age have a diagnosis of Bartholin cyst. Keywords Abstract ÖzetOlgu Sunumu / Case Report

“…According to Sampson 13 , it is due to the reflux of menstrual blood and the implantation of endometrial cells into the peritoneal surface of the pelvic organs. Based on this theory, it is difficult to explain the rare occurrence of endometriosis in the breast, lung or umbilicus 14 . Other observers believe that endometriosis develops from pluripotent cells of the coelom.…”

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition and presents mainly with involvement of the pelvic organs. However umbilical endometriosis is uncommon. A correct differential diagnosis can be difficult and the use of epiluminescence and MRI is suggested for the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis. This case report was experienced at a tertiary care hospital at Dhaka city. The patient was 39 years old multigravid woman presented with umbilical swelling and pain during menstruation for last 1year with cyclical bleeding from the umbilical region for last 4 months. The patient had regular menstrual bleeding since the time of menarche. The patient had no previous history of endometriosis, dysmenorrhea or dyspareunia. Physical examination showed a hyperpigmented tender paraumbilical swelling with bloody discharge through umbilicus. An accurate anamnesis and clinical examination together with the use of high resolution ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration cytology led to an accurate pre-operative diagnosis of umbilical endometriosis. The surgical approach to umbilical endometriosis represented an important step in achieving a satisfying result. The lesion to be excised and adequate umbilical repositioning was done. The patient was asymptomatic at the follow-up visit (12 months after surgery), however, nevertheless warned of the risk of recurrence. A natural-looking umbilicus was observed in cases with minimal visible scars.
