A case of umbilical cord hemangioma

چکیده
We report a rare case of an umbilical cord hemangioma. The umbilical cord consisted of Capillaries and cavernous blood vessels and the hemangioma stressed umbilical arteries and vein. At 40 weeks of gestation, it resulted in intrauterine death of the fetus. Microscopically, there were lots of vessels with various thicknesses in the umbilical cord. Autopsy shows evidences of smothering. These findings indicate there may be a causal connection between the umbilical cord hemangioma and fetal death because of the impaired umbilical circulation.
