Author ProfileAbstract
Omphalolith is a rare and underdiagnosed entity due to the accumulation
of sebum and keratin in the umbilicus. It usually occurs in the elderly
with deep and narrow umbilicus. Early recognition of omphalolith is
important to prevent complications, unnecessary investigations and
anxiety. We report herein two new cases of omphalolith.23 Apr 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 26 Apr 2022Submission Checks Completed
