“…The umbilicus is a unique structure with several embryonic remnants and a sophisticated braided lymphatic network drainage system. It is not merely a section of skin that can be affected by other skin neoplasms like any other region of the body [6]. Thus, malignant tumors originating from internal solid organs frequently move through the umbilicus.…”

Primary umbilical neoplasms are exceptionally rare. Neurofibromas histologic findings vary from collagenous to myxoid matrix according to the neoplastic elements differentiation. We present a case of neurofibroma in the supraumbilical region undergoing cystic myxomatous degeneration. A 75-year-old female presented to the department with a complaint of swelling above the umbilicus for the last three years. The swelling was excised and grossly was a single, irregular, reddish-yellow cystic mass measuring 4.5 × 4 x 3 cm. On the cut section, cystic jelly-like areas were identified, and histopathological features were suggestive of neurofibroma undergoing cystic myxomatous degeneration. The diagnosis needed to be combined with pathological examination, and careful consideration during the surgical intervention was important to confirm there was no residue.

“…Umbilical cord tumors are rare and, among them, teratomas, which are accepted as the only true neoplasms in this location, are extremely rare [ 1 ]. Umbilical cord teratomas are histologically composed of tissues from all three germ-cell layers [ 2 ].…”

Objective : To describe the antenatal and pathological features of an immature umbilical cord teratoma associated with exomphalos, and to review the literature on this subject. Case presentation : An abdominal wall defect, suspected to be an exomphalos, was identified during routine ultrasound examination performed at 13 weeks of gestation. The pregnancy was terminated. Fetopathological examination revealed an immature umbilical cord teratoma associated with exomphalos. Chromosomal microarray analysis was normal. Conclusions : Umbilical cord teratomas, albeit very rare, should be emphasized as a possible differential diagnosis when abdominal wall defects are detected. Since cord teratomas may lead to adverse fetal or neonatal outcomes, close follow-up of the fetus is recommended.
