Abstract
CRESPO CAMPOS, Angelicia; SARMIENTO PORTAL, Yanett; VALDES DIAZ, Martha Caridad and SUAREZ GARCIA, Nuvia. Umbilical cord hematoma: an interesting case. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2009, vol.81, n.2. ISSN 0034-7531.
Authors present the case of a newborn presenting a 3 x 4 cm umbilical cord tumor of red-violet color, soft consistency and painless located at 1 cm of abdominal wall. During its evolution there was a gradual decrease size, low bleeding, and as a complication the presence of an umbilical granuloma and delay of fall cord (21 days). At 45 days the navel was normal. We performed a clinical catheterization of the pathology and also offer updated review on this matter.
Keywords : Umbilical cord hematoma; umbilical hematoma.
