Abstract

We experienced a case of an inflammatory pseudotumor resembling an urachal tumor. The case involved a 46 year-old female patient, who complained lower abdominal pain and voiding symptoms with fever. An adult fist sized, hard ovoid fixed mass, was palpable in the suprapubic area. The pelvic ultrasonographic, CT and the MRI findings indicated an urachal tumor. The mass lesion was diagnosed from a percutaneous needle biopsy and cystoscopic biopsy, as an inflammatory pseudotumor. We administered antibiotics and performed conservative treatment only. The mass had disappeared on a bimanual physical examination and cystoscopy, 2 months later. There was no evidence of recurrence on follow-up CT scan 4 months later.
