From her personal physiologic history we retained the fact that 3 years ago she gave birth to a child, in a natural way. Personal pathological history reveal: obesity stage II, arterial hypertension stage I and conization for cervical dysplasia one year before. Clinical examination reveals a normal aspect of the umbilical scar, without evidence of protrusion during Valsalva maneouvre and discrete sensibility at paplation. Laboratory examinations were in normal range. No abnormality were found at abdominal ultrasound examination. Ultrasound examination of the abdominal wall showed on the right sidewall of the umbilical scar a nodular image, hypoechogenic, non-homogenic, well defined, sized 11/10mm, with discrete vascular signal evidenced by the power Doppler.
