Abstract:
We report a case of a male newborn with complete epispadias and an umbilical lesion. Histological examination of the surgically removed lesion revealed a colonic remnant with no communication to the underlying bowel. This entity is one of the exstrophy/epispadias complex variants known as covered exstrophy with sequestered bowel, and is case 4 in the world literature. Simple excision of the lesion was accomplished with staged correction of the epispadias planned.
