Urachal cancer is a rare but aggressive malignancy. A urachal mass concerning for adenocarcinoma was identified in a 32-year-old G2P1 female on 12-week ultrasound and confirmed on pelvic MRI. Due to progressive growth of the mass and refractory abdominal pain, a multi-disciplinary meeting was held, after which the patient chose to undergo an exploratory laparotomy. A tubo-ovarian abscess was identified involving the intestine, right ovary, fallopian tube, and communicating with a patent, necrotic urachus. This is the first reported case of a tubo-ovarian abscess masquerading as a urachal malignancy, which can present similarly with abdominal pain and irritative urinary symptoms.
脐尿管癌是一种罕见但侵袭性强的恶性肿瘤。一名32岁、孕2产1的女性在孕12周超声检查时发现一个可疑腺癌的脐尿管肿物,盆腔磁共振成像(MRI)予以证实。由于肿物进行性生长且腹痛难治,遂召开了多学科会诊会议,之后患者选择接受剖腹探查术。术中发现一个输卵管卵巢脓肿,累及肠道、右侧卵巢、输卵管,并与一个通畅的坏死脐尿管相通。这是首例报告的伪装成脐尿管恶性肿瘤的输卵管卵巢脓肿病例,其临床表现可能与腹痛和刺激性尿路症状相似。
