Resumo: | Endometriosis is a chronic disorder characterized by the presence of ectopic functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and which affects about 10% of all women of reproductive age. Cutaneous endometriosis, usually localized in the abdominal wall, is a rare entity. We report the case of a nulliparous woman with an acute painful umbilical nodule that slowly increased in size during the days prior to observation. The lesion was surrounded by a painful periumbilical subcutaneous plaque. The patient denied associated constitutional symptoms and reported two similar episodes in the previous two years. A skin biopsy was performed, and histopathologic examination was consistent with the diagnosis of endometriosis. This article reviews this disease particularly rare in nulliparous and highlights the importance of recognizing this clinical presentation of endometriosis due to its frequent association with pelvic disease that can lead to reduced fertility. |

A endometriose cutânea com localização habitual na parede abdominal é uma manifestação rara da doença. Apresenta-se o caso de uma mulher jovem nulípara com um nódulo umbilical doloroso e de crescimento recente com placa dolorosa subcutânea periumbilical, sem outra sintomatologia associada. A anamnese revelou dois episódios semelhantes nos últimos dois anos. Foi realizada biópsia cutânea da lesão e o exame anatomopatológico foi compatível com endometriose. Os autores fazem uma revisão desta entidade clínica e realçam a importância do reconhecimento desta forma de apresentação, rara em nulíparas, dada a associação frequente a focos de endometriose noutras localizações e que podem condicionar um baixo nível de fertilidade.Ordem dos Médicos2020-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfimage/tiffimage/tiffimage/tiffapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/10966Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 33 No. 4 (2020): April; 282-284Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 33 N.º 4 (2020): Abril; 282-2841646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966/5911https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966/10462https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966/10463https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966/10464https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966/10465https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966/10495https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966/10496https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966/10497https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966/10498https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/10966/10932Direitos de Autor (c) 2020 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBatista, MarianaAlves, FranciscaCardoso, JoséGonçalo, Margarida2022-12-20T11:06:08Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/10966Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:19:58.415987Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

Endometriosis is a chronic disorder characterized by the presence of ectopic functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and which affects about 10% of all women of reproductive age. Cutaneous endometriosis, usually localized in the abdominal wall, is a rare entity. We report the case of a nulliparous woman with an acute painful umbilical nodule that slowly increased in size during the days prior to observation. The lesion was surrounded by a painful periumbilical subcutaneous plaque. The patient denied associated constitutional symptoms and reported two similar episodes in the previous two years. A skin biopsy was performed, and histopathologic examination was consistent with the diagnosis of endometriosis. This article reviews this disease particularly rare in nulliparous and highlights the importance of recognizing this clinical presentation of endometriosis due to its frequent association with pelvic disease that can lead to reduced fertility. |
