Urachal cyst is a clinical malformation caused by failure of the allantois to obliterate during embryological development. Because of its rare presentation in adults, urachal cysts are often incorrectly diagnosed. Delay in diagnosis can cause complications such as peritonitis, fistula, sepsis, or even malignant manifestation. We report the case of a 19-year-old adult male, who presented with clinical features mimicking appendicitis. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed diagnosis of an infected urachal cyst, which was treated surgically.
脐尿管囊肿是一种临床畸形，由胚胎发育过程中尿囊未能闭合引起。由于其在成人中的表现罕见，脐尿管囊肿常被误诊。诊断延误可导致腹膜炎、瘘管、败血症，甚至恶性表现等并发症。我们报告了 1 例 19 岁成年男性，其临床表现类似于阑尾炎。超声和磁共振成像证实了感染性脐尿管囊肿的诊断，并通过手术进行了治疗。
