“…An umbilical granuloma (UG) is the most prevalent pediatric abnormality which is a consequence of failed epithelialization and increase growth of granulation tissue at the umbilicus after separation of umbilical cord [1,4] . Because of its high prevalence, they are commonly seen in the pediatric clinics.…”

“…Umbilical granuloma is a benign abnormality commonly seen in neonates. The differential diagnoses of patent vitelo-intestinal duct and patent urachus must be considered in cases such as this, and relevant investigations should be carried out 1,2 . Conservative management of umbilical granulomas in neonatal period includes moist dressing, prevention of friction and application of salt to encourage epithelialisation.…”

Discharging lesions in the umbilical region are rare but well known in neonatal period. Omphalitis, umbilical granuloma, patent urachus and persistent vitelo-intestinal duct are some of the commonest causes. If such a lesion is found in an older child, a careful detailed history and examination of the lesion can give clue to the diagnosis. We present one such case of a rare case of umbilical granuloma.

“…Las consecuencias que se derivan de los hematomas están en dependencia de su tamaño y de la afectación vascular que comprendan, lo cual puede determinar cambios metabólicos importantes en el feto y anoxia aguda progresiva. El diagnóstico diferencial se realiza con otras patologías de tipo vascular y tumoral, entre las cuales destacan la dilatación aneurismática de la vena umbilical [13][14][15][16]. Entre otros tumores de ombligo se puede mencionar el angiofibromixoma y el angioma.…”

ResumenSon múltiples las patologías que pueden afectar al cordón umbilical, entre ellas se hallan las de tipo infeccioso, las relacionadas con anomalías del desarrollo, patologías degenerativas, relacionadas con la dinámica del cordón umbilical, de tipo vascular, tumorales y del amnios. El pólipo umbilical es una anomalía infrecuente por persistencia de parte o todo el conducto onfalomesentérico, histológicamente formado por mucosa intestinal o urinaria. Entre las patologías infecciosas se mencionan las verrugas umbilicales, que son proliferaciones epiteliales benignas, causadas por la infección del virus del papiloma humano. Se presentan dos casos de patologías umbilicales en niños, el primero en un lactante de sexo femenino de 1.5 meses con un pólipo umbilical, y el segundo caso un escolar de sexo masculino con una verruga umbilical, una localización infrecuente, tratada exitosamente con electrocoagulación. Hacemos además una revisión de las patologías más frecuentes de esta localización en pacientes pediátricos. AbstractThere are many conditions that can affect the umbilical cord, between them, there are the infectious kind, related developmental abnormalities of the cord, degenerative diseases related to the dynamics of the umbilical cord, vascular type, tumor and amnion. The umbilical polyp is a rare phatology consistent in a persistence of some or all omphalomesenteric duct, histologically composed of bowel or bladder mucosa. Among the infectious diseases, there is the umbilical warts, that are benign epithelial proliferations caused by infection of the human papilloma virus. Two cases of umbilical disorders in children are presented, the first one in a female infant of 1.5 months, that present a umbilical polyp. The second case, a male child of 12 years old with umbilical wart, an unusual placement, successfully treated by electrocoagulation. Introducción En la formación del ombligo intervienen una serie de fenómenos desde el propio plegamiento del disco embrionario, la formación y migración del intestino primitivo, hasta la involución de estructuras fetales como el conducto onfalomesentérico, la alantoides y los vasos umbilicales. En los embriones de 75mm ya están constituidas las estructuras definitivas del cordón umbilical: dos arterias, una vena, la gelatina de Wharton y el amnios envolvente [1,2]. Después del nacimiento, las arterias umbilicales y la vena comienzan su obliteración anatómica hasta cerca de los 28 días. En la obliteración de la vena intervienen dos procesos: por un lado la proliferación de la íntima, que llena la periferia y la luz de la vena con nuevo tejido fibroso; y por otro lado la formación de tejido colágeno en la media fibromuscular. Ambos procesos forman al final el ligamento de Teres.
