Congenital omphalocele is a persistence of the herniation of the abdominal contents into the proximal part of the umbilical cord.
Whereas, the umbilical hernia occurs when intestines herniate through the imperfectly closed umbilicus.
SIMILARITY: Both herniation occurs thru the umbilicus.
DIFFERENCE: In the umbilical hernias, the protruding mass is covered by subcutaneous tissue and skins, whereas in congenital omphalocele it's not.
