Umbilical findings in Aarskog syndrome.
We report on five patients with Aarskog syndrome who show previously undescribed umbilical features. Two of the five patients had protruding umbilicus, while the other three had a characteristic umbilicus consisting of a smooth depression with radiating branches of the cicatrix, and a flat cushion. These umbilical configurations have not previously been described in association with Aarskog syndrome. The flat configuration of the umbilicus could be a characteristic umbilical finding associated with Aarskog syndrome as well as the protruding umbilicus.
