OBJECTIVE: We describe the MR appearance of endometriosis involving the umbilicus in two patients. One patient had a history of laparoscopy performed through the umbilicus; the other had an umbilical hernia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MR imaging was performed using both a body coil and a spine coil (with the patient lying prone on the spine coil). The lesions were surgically removed and their MR appearance was correlated with the results of histologic analysis. RESULTS: The lesions were well delineated on MRI and showed evidence of prior hemorrhage consistent with endometriosis. Both lesions were shown to be endometriosis at surgical pathology. CONCLUSION: MR imaging was useful for delineating the size and location of the lesions and excluding intraabdominal extension.
