Cherry red polyps in the umbilical fossa

Introduction

Introduction If the baby's navel is wet and there is a cherry red polyp in the umbilical fossa, the baby is likely to have a umbilical cord. Umbilical cord is the yolk tube residual tissue (embryonic residual tissue) in the umbilical cord of the child, also known as umbilical omphalomesenteric duct polyp or umbilical polyp. Generally speaking, Umbilical velvet is a polypoid-like growth of the cherry red, smooth and moist surface on the wound surface after the umbilical cord is detached from the child. There may be a small amount of "pus"-like secretions (if it is bruised, the secretion may be bloody) .

Cause

Cause

1. Chronic stimulation: a special stimulus caused by changes in dietary habits, or changes in the nature of feces; or stimulation of intestinal diseases such as dysentery, ulcerative colitis, schistosomiasis, ascariasis; and chronic constipation, dry stools, etc. Both can stimulate the rectal mucosa and cause disease.

2. Genetic factors: The fetus is in the embryonic stage, and the epithelial cells are susceptible. This property allows epithelial cells to grow rapidly into polyps during growth and development. Surgery is recommended. If not treated in time, long-term blood in the stool will affect the child's health and lead to anemia. Generally, the disease can be treated by anal resection. The operation can be completed in about 20 minutes. It has no other influence on the child and is safer.

General form:

Sakura red, smooth and moist surface, polypoid. The small ones are about the size of mung beans, and the larger ones can be more than 0.5 cm in diameter, and some of the roots are thinned to form pedicles.

Organizational form:

The squamous epithelium of the umbilicus is connected to the intestinal mucosal tissue of the embryo.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of cherry red polyp in the umbilical fossa:

1. Infants and young children have prominent tumors in the umbilicus: infantile umbilical hernia is a congenital developmental deficient disease, which gradually decreases with age. Most can heal themselves within 2 years of age. The surface of the sputum has skin covering mainly in the umbilicus with a prominent mass, the mass is enlarged when crying, the skin tension is very thin, the micro-cyan is quiet, lying down or the tumor shrinks away during sleep, and the umbilicus has loose wrinkles.

2. There is granulation tissue hyperplasia in the umbilical fossa: there is granulation tissue proliferation in the umbilical fossa. The wound that has not healed after the umbilicus is stimulated by foreign body or often rubbed to form a polypoid, cherry red granuloma, which is the size of rice to soybean. There is a pus and bloody secretion, it is not easy to heal. Excessive granulation tissue can be removed with 10% silver nitrate or with sterile scissors to keep it clean and quickly heal. The granulation tissue proliferation in the umbilical fossa is a kind of tissue hyperplasia that occurs after the umbilical cord falls off. It may also be caused by the intestinal tube connecting with the navel and the mucous membrane bulging. Umbilical granuloma is very likely to cause infection and cause inflammation. It is an umbilical disease that requires immediate medical attention.
