Question
Dear sir/madam, i would like to know if whartons jelly cyst is common and are they benign? But articles mention that these cyst can be associated with VACTERL and also obstructive uropahty in neonates. If that is the case, are all neonates having these cysts indicated for further routine investigation like USG kidney and Xray spine? If a single cyst was found can they be normal variant?
Answer
False umbilical cysts (pseudocysts) represent liquefaction of Wharton jelly. Pseudocysts are associated with chromosomal anomalies, omphalocele, and hemangiomas.
