    An infectious urachal cyst presented as a lower abdominal mass in a man. Surgical excision was required due to infection and intestinal adhesion.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Urachal cysts are rare congenital remnants with potential for infection.
    • Infectious urachal cysts can present as abdominal masses, mimicking other pathologies.

    Observation:

    • A 44-year-old male presented with a lower abdominal mass.
    • Initial investigations, including cystoscopy and urinalysis, were unremarkable for urinary tract infection or hematuria.

    Findings:

    • Laparotomy revealed an infectious urachal cyst adhered to the small intestine.
    • Surgical management involved partial small intestine resection and partial cystectomy for complete mass excision.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering urachal cyst infection in abdominal masses.
