A cyst related to the umbilical cord is referred to as any cystic pathology that is related to the umbilical cord. There are two types of cord cyst as: pseudocysts or true cysts. An Up-to-date, Europe PMC, Google Scholar and PubMed using the search terms ‘omphalocele associated with umbilical cord cyst’. We reviewed the findings for 19 cases of omphalocele associated with umbilical cord cyst reported in literatures. The present case was diagnosed at birth with normal karyotyping anomalies, and surgical intervention was performed by omphalocele sac, which was opened and the intestines were reduced to the peritoneal cavity with excision of the cord cyst. Due to its few of knowledge and scarce documentation in the literature, a literature review is conducted to increase awareness of the omphalocele, combining umbilical cord cyst. We conclude two hypotheses. Foetal umbilical cord examination is an important part of prenatal sonography assessment. Karyotyping is mandatory when an umbilical cord cyst, combining an omphalocele, is detected.
