Although various modalities are available for the treatment of umbilical granulomas, the best method remains controversial. A 7-week-old infant presented with umbilical granuloma followed by omphalitis. We treated the omphalitis first to prevent local inflammation. On the following day, the umbilical granuloma was successfully cut off with a nylon suture thread. No residue of the granuloma was left behind and no signs of local inflammation appeared. Umbilical granuloma can be successfully removed with a nylon suture thread. Treatment for omphalitis before granuloma removal may be useful to prevent local inflammation.en-USEpithelializationinfantnylon suture threadomphalitisumbilical granulomaArticle
