        abstract = {Umbilical granuloma is a common benign condition in neonates and infants, usually managed with conservative measures such as topical silver nitrate or ligation. Patent urachus, a rare congenital anomaly resulting from failure of urachal obliteration, may present with persistent umbilical discharge and can clinically mimic or coexist with umbilical granuloma. Misdiagnosis or incomplete evaluation may lead to inappropriate treatment and complications. We report a case of an infant with umbilical granuloma associated with a 0.8 cm patent urachus, in whom copper sulphate was inadvertently applied, resulting in local tissue injury. This case highlights the importance of thorough evaluation of persistent umbilical discharge, awareness of urachal anomalies, and avoidance of caustic agents without definitive diagnosis.},
