It's time again to test your diagnostic skill with the New England Journal of Medicine image challenge. (click on the image to see up close) The nodule formed in this young woman in the umbilical (naval) area and bled intermittently. What is the diagnosis?
1. Endometrioma
2. Metastatic adenocarcinoma
3. Omphalith
4. Umbilical hernia
5. Urachal cyst
Give me your best answer as a comment and I will post the answer with fascinating learning points tomorrow.

Hmmm...Urachal cyst. I want to see it drain urine...

Endometrioma. The key is "intermittent bleeding"
Endometroma: young, female, intermittant bleeding.
I'll go with # 5
I have to go with metastatic carcinoma.
Bleeding, yes, but the fact that there's no mention of its relation to the menstrual cycle (or pain) allows me to rank endometrioma lower than a met to that famous node that shall not be named.
Can't wait to see what the answer is!
