Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecologic Oncology

Background:

  • Urachal abscess is an uncommon condition presenting diagnostic challenges.
  • Clinical presentation is variable, often mimicking other serious conditions.

Observation:

  • A 41-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis was initially suspected of having advanced ovarian cancer.
  • The patient presented with symptoms that led to referral to a gynecological oncology service.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic imaging modalities and percutaneous biopsy confirmed urachal abscess and infected bladder diverticulum.
  • The patient's condition was differentiated from advanced ovarian cancer.

Implications:

  • Awareness of urachal abscess is essential for clinicians due to its diverse presentations.
