Core Tip
Core tip: Incisional endometriosis after laparoscopy is very rare, and if occurring, it is often seen in the cannula incision of that collected specimen. In our patient, incisional endometriosis occurred in the umbilical cannula incision, which was not the cannula incision from which the specimen was taken out of. We also review the published literature and summarize the characteristics, differential diagnosis, and treatment of umbilical endometriosis.
