RESUMO
It is generally agreed that neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and pneumoperitoneum should be treated surgically. We report herein the case of a 3-day-old male newborn with NEC in whom a pneumoperitoneum subsequently developed without any cause found at laparotomy. This case is presented to discuss the nonsurgical management of pneumoperitoneum in selected patients.

Umbilical and periumbilical disorders may present with a diverse group of anomalies and reflect the developmental embryological events they result from. A rare occurrence in a newborn of an umbilicus with an umbilical polyp together with an urachal sinus associated with a supraumbilical abnormal skin area known as epigastric cleft is reported herein, to help to elucidate embryological steps of anterior midline fusion defects and urachal remnants.

An epidermoid cyst of the cecum is reported in an 8-year-old girl who presented with vague abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound scan showed a mass that was cystic in nature. During operation, a subserosal cystic mass was found in the wall of the cecum and confirmed to be an epidermoid cyst histopathologically. This is the first case of epidermoid cyst of the cecum in children reported in the literature.
