RESUMO
Urachal abnormalities are infrequent pathologies characterized by the failure of obliteration of the urachal canal, resulting in a persistent fibrous cord. The initial diagnosis approach can be done with ultrasonography; however, computed tomography is considered a standard diagnostic method. The preferred method for relieving symptoms and reducing recurrence is surgical excision. This is a case of a 45-year-old man with recurrent urinary tract infections, suprapubic pain, and umbilical fetid discharge who underwent laparoscopic umbilicus-sparing excision.
