Cutaneous endometriosis is characterized by the appearance of papules at the umbilicus or in lower abdominal scars after gynecologic surgery in middle-aged women.[1]: 628 The size averages to 2 cm in diameter. Its colour ranges from blue to violet, brown or skin-coloured.[2]
Rarely, endometriosis may present inside the muscles of the abdominal wall instead of the skin after cesarean section.[3]
