Abstract

We report the case of a 16-year-old girl who complained of stomach discomfort. She's been on medical therapy for roughly 6 months after being diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Magnetic resonance enterography confirmed the diagnosis of an infected urachal cyst, and she eventually had surgery. The removed material had a significant chronic inflammatory and foreign body type granulomatous response, according to histology. Because urachal cyst is an uncommon disease, early identification requires a high level of suspicion, and urachal cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis. © 2021 The Authors
