Sumario:Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors that may cause an umbilical hernia in patients with increased intra-abdominal pressure due to pregnancy, obesity, ascites, and intra-abdominal tumors.

Here, we present the case of a fibroid presenting as an incarcerated umbilical hernia in a menopausal patient.
