Wharton's Jelly Cyst
photo by Janelle Aby, MD
This is the same cord as in the previous photo. Viewed from the side, one can see the difference in appearance of the "cystic" area as compared with the normal cord. By the following morning, the distended area had completely deflated as the cord was starting to dry and could no longer be distinguished from the rest of the umbilical cord.
