The patient is a male and the histology looks benign. I'm wondering about a urachal cyst/remnant, although this does not fit the age.

Umbilical omphalomesenteric duct polyp.

I think these are Urachal remnants, so my diagnosis is Urchal polyp of the umbilicus.

In omphalomesenteric duct polyps the epithelial lining should be enteric or gastric. Abdul-kadir and Igor are probably correct: the epithelial lining present is more consistent with an umbilical urachal polyp.

Yes I agree and called this a urachal remnant. I had not seen a case previously but it seems to fit nicely. There was also fat necrosis.
