title: Umbilical adenoma.
abstract: Sixteen cases of umbilical adenoma have been presented. Surgical exploration revealed significant intraperitoneal findings (various yolk-stalk anomalies) in six of ten patients. There were no postoperative complications. Hence, we recommend complete surgical exploration of patients with umbilical adenomas. Anything less usually results in recurrence.
