The authors report a case of acute peritonitis due to intraperitoneal perforation of an infected urachal cyst. A review of the literature found only 15 similar cases. The presence of a lower midline mass, an umbilical discharge together with ultrasound examination should suggest the possibility of urachal pathology, especially and urachal cyst, with subsequent surgical treatment.
