Abstract

Diseases of the urachal remnant can present at any age. Urachal ad-enocarcinoma is the most frequent cause of urachal mass in adults, albeit infected urachal cyst constitutes a significant number. Lack of typical clinical and imaging findings combined with absence of de-finitive guidelines makes evaluation of urachal mass in adults very challenging. We present a case of a 58-year-old man presenting with an urachal mass with overlapping clinical and imaging findings mim-icking urachal malignancy which later turned out to be an infected urachal cyst.
