Urachal Actinomycosis Mimicking a Urachal Tumor
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 26-year-old man presented with lower abdominal discomfort and a palpable mass in the right lower quadrant. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an abdominal wall mass that extended from the dome of the bladder. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) showed hypermetabolic wall thickening around the bladder dome area that extended to the abdominal wall and hypermetabolic mesenteric infiltration. Differential diagnosis included a urachal tumor with invasion into adjacent organs and chronic inflammatory disease. Partial cystectomy with abdominal wall mass excision was performed, and the final pathologic report was consistent with urachal actinomycosis.

Actinomycosis involving the urachal remnant is extremely rare and can mimic urachal carcinoma or other infectious conditions (1, 2). Because of the nonspecific clinical presentation, the diagnosis of urachal actinomycosis is usually made by surgery followed by a histopathologic examination. The radiologic findings...

Primary actinomycosis in urachal remnant is documented rarely in the English literature. The disease is usually misdiagnosed as urachal carcinoma because of its infiltrating and enhancing natures. We illustrate a case of urachal actinomycosis with ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance images. The clinical, radiological, and pathological findings are reviewed. Some imaging find...

A 2-year-and-2-month-old boy presented with a tender fist-sized mass in the lower abdomen for 3 days. Turbid urine was also a complaint. His urachal sinus and umbilicus had been removed at the age of 2 months. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a tumor mass beneath the lower abdominal wall. Total excision of the mass was performed. Microscopic examination showed an absce...
