Gastric Polyp of the Umbilicus in an 8-year-old BoyDepartment of Pathology, Federal University of Minas Gerais, School of Medicine, Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Department of Pathology, Federal University of Minas Gerais, School of Medicine, Belo Horizonte, Brazil A case of umbilical polyp composed of gastric mucosa is reported in an 8-year-old boy. This is an extremely rare lesion probably originating in remnants of the omphalo-enteric duct and mainly diagnosed in the newborn period. Clinically, this polyp should be differentiated from exhuberant proliferation of granulation tissue which represents the granuloma pyogenicum of the umbilical scar.
