A hemangioma of the umbilical cord was misdiagnosed as an omphalocele both antenatally and immediately after birth. The girl was full term and had no other anomalies. Complete resection, including an intraabdominal component, was performed on the first day of life. This rare anomaly and its possible pitfalls are discussed, and the literature is reviewed.
