Sažetak

Umbilical primary endometriosis is a rare localization of the functional endometrial tissue outside of uterine cavity and it represents 0.5-1% of ectopical endometriosis.
We are reporting a case in which recurrence of umbilical endometriosis has occurred 5 months after excision of umbilical endometriotic lesion and 19 years after the surgery of endometriotic cyst of the right ovary. It caused periodical bleeding from the umbilicus, associated with severe abdominal pain. Endometriosis was suspected and treated by wide surgical excision. Pathohistological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of endometriosis.
