The urachus is an embryologic remnant which degenerates after the birth. Defective obliteration of the urachus leads to urachal abnormalities. An infected urachal cyst is one of the urachal abnormalities and this pathology is rare in adult women. We report a case of 33-year-old woman with pelvic pain and dysuria who was diagnosed with infected urachal cyst. Infected urachal cyst is a rare patho...

INTRODUCTION Urachal cysts are rare congenital anomalies that often prompt referral to the paediatric general surgeon because of their associated complications such as infection, abdominal pain and the young age at presentation. In this report we describe a rare case of fever of unknown origin caused by an urachal cyst which was successfully treated with incision and drainage only. Since the fi...

Stone-containing urachal cysts are extremely rare in adults. Here, we report the case of a 58-year-old man with a urachal cyst who had lower abdominal pain and urinary frequency. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography showed hyperdense stones in the urachus. He was treated with a laparoscopic excision using a transperitoneal approach. The pathological diagnosis was an inflammed urach...

BACKGROUND Urachal remnants are a group of rare anatomical anomalies that include cysts, diverticula, and tumors. We present a case of a young female patient with dyspareunia and dysorgasmia related to a urachal cyst. CASE A patient with unique presentation of urachal cyst treated robotically. Patient had complete resolution of symptoms postoperatively. CONCLUSION Robot-assisted excision of...

Diseases of the urachal remnant can present at any age. Urachal adenocarcinoma 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 definitive guidelines makes evaluation of urachal mass in adults very challenging. We present a case of a 58-year-old man presenti...

Objective: To report a rare case of urachal remnant cyst mimicking benign ovarian cyst.

Urachal cysts are uncommon. Rarely, these cysts can become infected. Tuberculosis of the urachal cyst is exceedingly rare, with only one case reported previously in the English language literature. Here we report the case of a 23-year-old male who presented with an infra-umbilical mass that turned out to be tuberculosis of the urachal cyst.

Adenocarcinomas of the urinary bladder are rare (1-5% of bladder tumours) and of notoriously poor prognosis. About one third of such tumours arise in urachal remnants related to the bladder. This is believed to be the first report of in situ change in the urachal remnant. The patient presented with mucusuria and computed tomography showed a typical urachal cyst. After excision the cyst was foun...

Infected urachal cysts are a rare clinical manifestation in adults. We present the case of a female patient with an infected urachal cyst, discuss the embryology, clinical presentation, diagnostics and the therapeutic procedure and make a comparison with the literature.

Remnant urachal cyst is a rare anomaly with an incidence of 1:5,000 and the majority are benign. The treatment of urachal cyst is complete surgical resection, and the cases of laparoscopic surgery for the resection have been reported since 1993. Most of the reports were about transabdominal laparoscopic approach, and it has been revealed that multiple skin incisions and trocar placements on upp...
