title: Umbilical findings in Aarskog syndrome.
abstract: 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.
