Laparoscopic Excision of an Infected Urachal Sinus in a Teenager: A Rare Case Report With Histological Highlights

During the development of the coelomic cavity, there is accessible communication between the urinary bladder and the umbilical wall through the urachus.

description During the development of the coelomic cavity, there is accessible communication between the urinary bladder and the umbilical wall through the urachus. Persistence of this tract results in urachal pathologies with variable symptoms. We present a case of an infected urachal cyst presenting as an umbilical mass with clear discharge in a 19-year-old male successfully managed laparoscopically.
