“…Our case shares some features with Sturge–Weber and Klippel–Trenaunay–Weber Syndromes but does not quite fit either. Interestingly, this case showed polyhydramnios which is infrequently seen in association with umbilical cord hemangioma [2].…”

“…There is no association between fetal sex, maternal age, race, or gravidity and cord hemangioma development. 2,7 Hemangiomas have been associated with elevated maternal serum α-fetoprotein levels, 14 polyhydramnios, 15 hydrops fetalis, 16 and fetal hemorrhage from a ruptured umbilical hemangioma. 17 It has been suggested that there could be an underlying congenital predisposition to vascular neoplasms.…”

“…Microscopic examination typically shows capillaries embedded in myxoid stroma. Only 14 cases were detected after delivery, [4–14] 7 of them as part of the post mortem investigation, [4,7–9,12,14] (Table 1). Reported associations include increased alpha-fetoprotein levels, hydramnios, fetal hydrops, and cord hemangiomas are assumed to increase the risk of perinatal mortality and morbidity.…”

Background:Umbilical cord hemangioma is very rare and may not be detected prenatally. However, it should be considered in differential diagnosis with other umbilical masses because it can cause significant morbidity.Methods:We report the case of a newborn referred with suspected omphalitis and umbilical hernia.Results:Physical examination showed an irreducible umbilical tumor, the size of olive, with dubious secretion. The initial suspected diagnosis was urachal or omphalomesenteric duct remnants. Abdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging showed an umbilical and a mesenteric mass. Tumor markers were negative. A definitive diagnosis of umbilical cord and intestinal hemangioma was established after surgical excision and histologic examination of the umbilical mass. Propranolol was prescribed due to the extent of the intestinal lesion.Conclusion:This report highlights the diagnostic challenges of hemangiomas in unusual locations. Apart from the rarity of these tumors, few tests are available to guide diagnosis, and surgery and histologic examination are generally required for a definitive diagnosis. Finally, it is essential to rule out associated malformations and hemangiomas in other locations.
