Summary

Umbilical polyps, typically from the omphalomesenteric duct, can also arise from urachal remnants. This case highlights a rare urachal-related umbilical polyp in a child.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Developmental Biology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Umbilical polyps are rare pediatric umbilical region disorders.
  • They are commonly attributed to incomplete closure of the omphalomesenteric duct.
  • Presentation is typically a red, moist umbilical mass post-cord separation.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 10-year-old boy with an umbilical polyp.
  • The umbilical polyp was found to be related to urachal remnants.
  • This specific origin for umbilical polyps has not been previously documented.

Findings:

  • Umbilical polyps can originate from structures other than the omphalomesenteric duct.
  • Urachal remnants represent a potential, previously unreported source of umbilical polyps.
  • This finding expands the differential diagnosis for umbilical masses in children.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider urachal remnants in the differential diagnosis of umbilical polyps.
  • Further investigation into the embryological basis of urachal-related umbilical polyps may be warranted.
  • This case broadens the understanding of congenital umbilical abnormalities.
