Abstract
In the adult, benign urachal cyst is a rare developmental anomaly. Prompt diagnosis and management are important to avoid complications.
A successfully operated case of infected urachal cyst is reported in this paper.
A 49-year-old woman was admitted with the complaint of abdominal tumor in her lower abdomen. Infected urachal cyst was suspected from the physical examination and proved by sonography and CT scanning. Considering the infection, cystectomy was performed by two-stage surgery.
Sonography and CT scanning are significantly useful in correctly diagnosing urachal cyst.
