Vestiges of the omphalomesenteric or vitello-intestinal duct and the pathologic implications attributed to these remnants have been treated in great detail by several investigators. Persistence of the omphalomesenteric duct is associated with such conditions as Meckel's diverticulum, umbilical fistula, mucosal polyps, and sinuses or cysts of the umbilicus. Remnants of the duct in the umbilical cord, although infrequent, are located outside of the triangle formed by the two umbilical arteries and the umbilical vein, are usually discontinuous and are often represented by a small lumen lined by cuboidal or columnar epithelium. This study will examine the ultrastructure of these cells.

Abstract Allantoic cysts of the umbilical cord are embryological remnants of either the allantois or the omphalomesenteric duct. These cysts represent a rare ultrasound finding especially in the first trimester. Allantoic cysts can be associated with fetal malformations and chromosomal aberrations or are characterised by spontaneous resolution and good pregnancy outcome. Here we present a rare case of umbilical cord cyst detected by ultrasound in the first trimester with later resolution and favourable pregnancy outcome.
