Teratomas of the umbilical cord are very rare lesions. We found only five cases in the literature from 1887 to 1993, the latest reported in 1985. We report a case of a 10 x 7 x 5-cm mass located just at the end of an omphalocele in the umbilical cord of a full-term baby. The mass exhibited something like a cranial and a caudal pole, and tissues of all three germinal layers could be found, but there were no skeletal structures. Therefore, this lesion was diagnosed as a teratoma of the umbilical cord. We review the literature and discuss the relationship between the teratoma of the umbilical cord and the holoacardius amorphus.
脐带畸胎瘤是非常罕见的病变。从1887年至1993年，我们在文献中仅发现5例，最近一例报道于1985年。我们报告一例足月婴儿脐带脐膨出末端有一个10×7×5厘米的肿物。该肿物有类似头端和尾端的结构，可发现所有三个胚层的组织，但无骨骼结构。因此，此病变被诊断为脐带畸胎瘤。我们回顾了文献并讨论了脐带畸胎瘤与无定形全无心畸形之间的关系。
