Combined Xanthogranulomatous Urachitis and BullousCystitis- A Case Report -

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the urachus is a very rare benign chronic inflammatory
disease of an unknown etiology. Herein we report a case of a 31-year-old woman who complained
of lower abdominal pain and dysuria. Cystoscopy revealed a bullous change at the
dome of the urinary bladder. MRI revealed a cystic mass above the bladder dome that extended
to the umbilicus. A partial cystectomy with urachal resection was performed. Pathological
examination revealed xanthogranulomatous urachitis combined with bullous cystitis.
