Development of the umbilicus is one of the most complex embryological processes in human beings which subjects to large number of malformations. Majority of this malformations manifest in the neonatal period, rarely they manifest in early adult life as symptom of umbilical discharge. Common causes in adults for umbilical discharge are acquired conditions and foreign bodies. We report case of 24 year female with chronic umbilical discharege since 3 years. She had inserted Copper T 4 years back after her first delivery. During prenatal checkup of second pregnancy, Copper T was missing in in utero which was deemed that would have been expelled per vaginally. After second delivery Coper T was inserted in Post-paartum period. Later on she develop complaint of lower abdominal pain and persistent purulent umbilical discharge since 6 months. On investigation we found the previous Copper-T in between the Rectus sheaths on the right side which formed a tract and was draining a seropurulent discharge through the umbilicus.
