Cutaneous endometriosis is a well known but rare phenomenon. We present a case of spontaneous umbilical endometriosis. The patient revealed a polypoid, brown-blue nodule within the umbilical depression with the typical history of monthly bleeding from the umbilicus. The differential diagnoses are summarized.
