“…The mentioned substance could be interpreted as degenerated Wharton jelly, which is indicative for haemangioma (angiomyxoma). Nevertheless a teratoma, although exceedingly rare, cannot be ruled out in the absence of histology [Iyoob et al, 2006]. One can easily understand Ruysch's initial assumption that the tumor was an umbilical hernia, considering the overall rarity of umbilical tumors and its superficial morphological resemblance to umbilical hernias, especially when located in close proximity to the umbilicus.…”

The Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) in Saint Petersburg is the oldest museum in Russia. It keeps the remains of the anatomical collection of the world‐famous 17th century Dutch anatomist Frederik Ruysch. This unique collection was bought and shipped in 1717 by Czar Peter the Great, and presently still comprises more than 900 specimens, a modest number of which concerns specimens with congenital anomalies. We searched for teratological clues in the existing collection and in all his descriptions and correspondence regarding specimens and cases he encountered during his career as doctor anatomiae and chief instructor of the surgeons and midwives in Amsterdam. A total of 63 teratological specimens and case descriptions were identified in this legacy, including some exceedingly rare anomalies. As it turns out, Ruysch was the first to describe several of the conditions we encountered, including intracranial teratoma, enchondromatosis, and Majewski syndrome. Although his comments pose an interesting view on how congenital anomalies were scientifically perceived in early 18th century Europe, Ruysch mostly refrained from explaining the causes of the conditions he encountered. Instead, he dedicated himself to careful descriptions of his specimens. Almost 300 years after his demise, Ruysch's legacy still impresses and inspires both scientists and lay men. © 2016 The Authors.

“…In some cases, placental pathology may also accompany but its clinical significance was not shown. [5][6][7][8][9] In our case, any placental pathology or thrombus were detected and AFP level was normal. A previous study reported that elevated AFP has been found in 60% of the hemangiomas and this was probably due to the impairment of the amniotic fluid barrier.…”

“…It is generally located in distal part of the cord and because of this it can be misdiagnosed as abdominal wall defect. 2,5,6 Therefore, the integrity of the abdominal wall and presence of any fetal organ in the mass should be carefully examined on the ultrasound screening.…”

Background: Hemangioma is one of the umbilical cord anomalies and it is arising from the remnants of embryo hemangioblasts. It is associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. Case report: We describe an umbilical cord hemangioma that was identified in antenatal period. The patient was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of omphalocele that was noticed at gestational age of 29 week. The mass, measured 80*75*50 mm diameter, was surrounded by edema of the Wharton jelly. Color Doppler imaging revealed arterial and venous flow within the mass. The neoplasm was composed of organized and non-organized capillary vessels within the myxoid stroma. Neoplasm was covered with squamous epithelium focally but the epithelium was widely eroded. The immunohistochemical examination positive staining was obtained for vimentin, desmin, CD34 and SMA. Conclusion: Umbilical cord anomalies are rare. Early detection and close follow-up can reduce the risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality.

“…Haemangiomas and teratomas are the only tumours that can arise from the umbilical cord [1]. Although both are rare, haemangioma is the most common tumour of the cord, with about 31 cases reported in the literature [47].…”

Umbilical cord anomalies can be related to its morphology (coiling, length and thickness); placental insertion (marginal and velamentous insertion); in utero distortion (knotting, torsion and nuchal cord) vascular abnormalities (single umbilical artery) and primary tumours or masses (haemangioma and teratoma). Some of these conditions may be associated with other foetal abnormalities or aneuploidy. On the other hand, several prenatal complications including intrauterine growth restriction IUGR and stillbirth can be attributed to cord accidents or abnormalities. Early detection and close follow up of umbilical cord abnormalities can reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality and assist in decision making. To understand the normal development of the umbilical cord and discuss several pathologic processes which are involved in different cord abnormalities.
