- Abstract
The article describes a case of a newborn infant with a brown, reducible mass at the base of the umbilical cord, later identified as liver tissue. Born to a mother with late prenatal care, the infant underwent an exploratory laparotomy and was found to have normal abdominal imaging and echocardiogram results. After post-operative stability and successful feeding, the infant was discharged home on day nine of life.
