In the adult, the urachus remains as a non-specific fibrous formation extended from the bladder dome to the Retzius space. This urachal remnant is commonly asymptomatic or may be revealed by a cyst. This later may also be asymptomatic or lead to local inflammation or inflammatory pseudo-tumor. We report an original observation of chronic fever revealing an urachal cyst in a 21-Year-old male.
