Cases J
June 2009
Department of Urology, Wirral University Teaching Hospital Wirral, Merseyside UK.
Article Synopsis
- Urachal cysts are rare abnormalities typically found in children, but a case in a 32-year-old male highlights their potential occurrence in adults.
- The patient's symptoms included a tender midline mass and umbilical discharge, and MRI confirmed the diagnosis of an infected urachal cyst.
- Surgical excision, following antibiotic treatment, is recommended due to the risk of malignant transformation in these cysts, and the patient's recovery was smooth after the procedure.
