Histology of omphalomesenteric duct remnant

Umbilical polyps show enteric mucosa in direct continuity with the adjacent epidermis (figures 1, 2). The mucosa is usually small bowel. Gastric mucosa is also sometimes seen (as seen in figure 2). Patent ducts and cysts show the enteric mucosa forming a cyst or a tubular structure coursing through the dermis respectively.
