Key Clinical MessageUrachal anomalies are rare congenital lesions of the genitourinary tract and are important causes of pediatric and adolescent hospital presentations. It can mimic many other causes of intraabdominal pathology and fever, and pose diagnostic challenges, often aided by imaging, is crucial to prevent complications such as infection and calculus formation. Surgical intervention, preferably laparoscopic, is the primary treatment, with complete excision necessary to avoid potential malignant transformation.

“…Aunque es raro, los remanentes de uraco pueden pasar desapercibidos hasta la edad adulta y llamar la atención clínica con una sintomatología abdominal aguda similar a la apendicitis, el divertículo de Meckel o una hernia incarcerada.

El fracaso parcial o completo de la obliteración del uraco puede dar lugar a malformaciones embriológicas distintas, aunque bien es cierto se trata de una patología de baja incidencia si no es diagnostica y tratada a tiempo puede presentar complicaciones que van de las más comunes las cuales incluyen infección del uraco, hasta las menos frecuentes que lleva a la malignidad como es el caso del carcinoma del uraco. La resección del remanente de uraco se puede realizar con cirugía abierta o con abordaje laparoscópico.

An Unusual Case of Urachal Cyst Misdiagnosed as a Paraovarian Cyst: Ultrasound Assessment and Differential Diagnosis

et al. 2022

The urachus is an embryologic remnant of the cloaca that usually degenerates after birth, resulting from the obliteration of the allantois, whose role is to connect the bladder to the umbilicus. Incomplete removal of the lumen may give rise to different malformations of the median umbilical ligament after birth. Although in the pediatric population urachus are common, most cases are asymptomatic and may go unrecognized until adulthood and give rise to cysts, rarely reported in the literature. Thus, in this manuscript we present the circumstances of a 43-year-old Romanian woman showing hypogastric pain of moderate intensity for three weeks, radiation in the left lower limb, menstrual cycle abnormalities, and dysmenorrhea. Based on the initial examinations, a paraovarian cyst measuring 80 mm was noted. Through the subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) conducted, a hypoechoic mass was detected, and the patient underwent a tumorectomy and partial cystectomy. A 9.7/7.5-cm tumor was excised, and the anatomopathological result was urachal mucinous cystadenoma. It came to our attention that relatively scarce data were found in the literature, with only seven studies with the diagnosis of the urachal cyst.
