Abstract
Angiomyxoma of the umbilical cord is a rare tumor that can be detected by Ultrasound prenatally as a complex solid-cystic mass. Serial ultrasound and Doppler examinations are used to monitor the tumor’s size and the overall fetal well-being. Most umbilical cord Angiomyxomas are incidental findings and the prognosis is dependent on size of he tumor, associate fetal anomalies and hemodynamic changes in the fetus. There is no guideline for management of these pregnanciesthis such rare condition, however, increase fetal surveillance is recommended. Overall, the mode of delivery depends on the size and location of the tumor.
