Description

A 20-year-old male presented with an umbilical tumor mass, discharge from the umbilical region, and lower abdominal pain. The patient was treated by antibiotic administration at a local dermatology clinic, but symptoms did not improve so he visited our department. At initial diagnosis, a red granuloma tumor mass with purulent effusion, adhering to the umbilical region, and lower abdominal pain were observed. An 18×14mm low-echo area continuing to the umbilical region under the fascias of the lower abdomen was observed by abdominal ultrasound examination, and a soft shadow area suspected of being an abscess from the navel subcutaneous to the abdominal wall was observed by abdominal CT test. According to the symptoms and findings of imaging tests, formation of an abscess due to urachal remnant and secondary infection was diagnosed. After controlling the infection, urachal resection was performed as fundamental treatment. Six months have passed since surgery and recurrence has not been observed. Skin Research, 11: 300-303, 2012
