Summary
Umbilical polyps, rare malformations from omphalomesenteric duct remnants, can mimic other umbilical growths. Simple surgical excision is effective for uncomplicated cases.
Area of Science:
- Medicine
- Pediatrics
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Umbilical polyps are rare congenital malformations.
- They originate from remnants of the omphalomesenteric duct.
- Clinical presentation can be mistaken for pyogenic granuloma or other umbilical neoplasms.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report two cases of umbilical polyp.
- To highlight diagnostic challenges and histological features.
- To discuss management options for umbilical polyps.
Main Methods:
- Case report presentation.
- Clinical and histological examination of two patients with umbilical polyps.
- Review of relevant medical literature.
Main Results:
- Two cases of umbilical polyp were identified.
- Histological examination revealed branching glandular structures lined by intestinal mucosa.
- No associated underlying abnormalities were noted in these cases.
Conclusions:
- Umbilical polyps are rare and can be misdiagnosed.
- Histological confirmation is key for diagnosis.
- Surgical excision is a suitable treatment for isolated umbilical polyps.
