Abstract
A case of umbilical keloid formation following cord separation in an infant is described. Treatment involved excision of the mass and reconstruction of the umbilicus with histological confirmation of the excised lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an umbilical keloid occurring at such an early age.
