Abstract:
Urachal xanthogranuloma is an extremely rare disease. A 23-year-old man presented with severe lower abdominal pain and voiding frequency. Computed tomography revealed a urachal mass with bladder invasion, which was suspected to be a urachal carcinoma or abscess. Laparoscopic urachal resection was performed with a minimal incision. Histopathologic examination identified the mass as a urachal xanthogranuloma.
