Introduction: Multiple pathologies can affect the umbilical cord, either due to infectious causes or malformation causes (acquired or congenital). However, the persistence of the omphalomesenteric duct and the urachus are the most frequent congenital malformations, especially in the pediatric setting, but not in the case of adults.
Case report: The case of a 68-year-old male patient from a rural area, a farmer, with an enterocutaneous fistula, who received surgical treatment, is presented. He went to the consultation due to yellowish fluid leaking from the umbilical region, pain, and erythema, with a history of prostatectomy, osteoarthritis, and arterial hypertension. He was admitted with a diagnostic impression of cellulitis vs wall abscess. According to the assessment by the surgical team, a clear discharge of intestinal fluid was observed through the navel, for which reason emergency surgical resolution was decided for exploratory laparotomy. The patient reports discharge of yellowish fluid from the navel since childhood; there is a high suspicion of a picture compatible with the persistence of the omphalomesenteric duct in the adult. The patient underwent surgery with the following finding: A fully patent omphalomesenteric duct (enteroumbilical fistula) was found 70 cm from the ileocecal valve, plus incidental appendectomy. He was discharged on the eighth day of hospitalization, with a favorable evolution, outpatient treatment, and outpatient control. In addition, a bibliographical review in scientific databases such as Pubmed, Scopus, Proquest, Lilacs, Scielo, and Google Academic. Conclusions: surgical treatment with a favorable evolution, outpatient treatment, and outpatient control
