Heterotopic Liver Nodule Compressing a Two-Vessel Umbilical Cord: An Unusual Cause of Intrauterine Fetal Demise

Heterotopic liver tissue in the umbilical cord is rare, and the outcome is quite unpredictable based on the few reported cases. We present a case of heterotopic liver nodule in the umbilical cord of a midtrimester fetus who died in utero. Although such association has only been reported once, heterotopic nodular tissue in the umbilical cord must be regarded as a potential cause of fetal demise by a mechanism analogous to the more common umbilical cord abnormalities resulting in umbilical vessel compromise.
