Perinatal/Neonatal Case Presentation

Enteric duplication cyst resembling umbilical cord cyst

Journal of Perinatology volume 26, pages 368–370 (2006)Cite this article

Abstract

We report a case of a neonatal male with a prenatal diagnosis of umbilical cord cyst that was finally diagnosed as an ileal duplication cyst after post-natal surgical exploration of the umbilical mass. To our knowledge, a similar case has never been reported previously. Although this form of presentation of enteric duplication cyst is exceptional, it should be taken into consideration when evaluating suspected umbilical cord cysts.
