“…Moreover, the same authors state that this pathology can be confused with abscess, hernia, tumor, scar granuloma and hematoma. In this line, however, Pessoa et al (2020), elucidate that cutaneous Brazilian Journal of Health Review, Curitiba, v. 6, n. 4, p.19371-19382, jul/aug., 2023 endometriosis may present as an erythematous-violaceous nodule, with bleeding or not, even in women with no history of abdominal surgery or pelvic endometriosis.…”

“…Endometriosis is described as the presence of endometrial tissue (endometrial glandular epithelium and stroma) in extrauterine sites (Bozkurt & Bozkurt, 2014;Audebert et al, 2018;Lopez-Soto et al, 2018;Pessoa et al, 2020). It is an estrogen-dependent endocrinegynecological pathology common in women in the fertile period or menopause; Around 8 to 10% of women of reproductive age are affected by this disease, and 3% to 5% of women in the menopausal stage, a unique entity described in the literature as the decidualization of endometrial tissues under the influence of gynecological hormones outside the uterine cavity.…”

“…The implantation sites of endometriosis are most commonly intrapelvic (ovaries and fallopian tube), but there can be manifestation in other sites such as: skin, liver, pleura, lung and brain (Coccia, et al, 2015;Lopez-Soto et al, 2018). Besides these, it can also localize to the abdominal wall, which is classified as cutaneous endometriosis or scar endometriosis (Bozkurt & Bozkurt 2014;Carr et al, 2015;López-Soto et al, 2018;Pessoa et al, 2020;Gonzalez, Singh & Hamza, 2021).…”

“…Cutaneous endometriosis is rare, and represents about 5% of reports of extrapelvic endometriosis, localizing mainly in the umbilicus region (Pessoa et al, 2020). Most often it presents after gynecological surgery, with cesarean section being the most common (Lopez-Soto et al , 2018, Amir, Raff & Maurice, 2021.…”

“…Most often it presents after gynecological surgery, with cesarean section being the most common (Lopez-Soto et al , 2018, Amir, Raff & Maurice, 2021. It is noteworthy that its pathogenesis is not yet well understood, thus making the diagnosis of this gynecological disease a great challenge (Lopez-Soto et al, 2018;Pessoa et al, 2020). Gonzalez, Singh & Hamza (2021), mention that cutaneous endometriosis is an iatrogenic implantation at the incision site, and may have a nonspecific presentation.…”

Endometriosis is a unique entity described in the extensive literature as the decidualization of endometrial tissues under the influence of gynecologic hormones outside the uterine cavity; Estrogen-dependent endocrine-gynecological pathology, common in women in the fertile period or menopause, a unique entity described as the presence of endometrial tissue in extrauterine sites; Cutaneous endometriosis is rare, and accounts for about 5% of reports of extrapelvic endometriosis, localizing mainly in the umbilicus region. To identify scientific findings on the diagnosis and clinical management of this rare clinical entity. Integrative review used in this article aims to review methods, theories and/or empirical studies on a topic; For the construction, six steps were outlined and included articles published in the last 10 running years. Cutaneous endometriosis is a rare condition in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus. Diagnosis is challenging, but symptoms such as pain and swelling in the umbilicus may be indicative. Dermatoscopy and biopsy are helpful in diagnosis. Treatment can be surgical or hormonal, with surgical excision being the preferred option. Recurrence is low after complete excision. Prognosis is generally favorable with appropriate surgery. Cutaneous endometriosis can affect quality of life and fertility, but many women are able to become pregnant after surgical treatment. Preventive measures include care during cesarean section surgery. Cutaneous endometriosis is a rare and difficult to diagnose disease. Treatment involves surgical resection with clear margins. The lack of scientific studies makes clinical management difficult, but summarizing the best evidence can help in early identification and prevention of complications.
