A therapeutic abortion was conducted on a 17‐week‐old male fetus with a large umbilical cord teratoma associated with an exomphalos. A review of the literature revealed ten other cases of umbilical cord teratoma and shows that these tumors have a very polymorphic presentation. Four fetuses and infants died from various causes indicating that there is a need for close follow‐up of pregnancies with umbilical cord teratoma. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
