[Colo-urachal-cutaneous fistula in an adult].

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

An infected urachal cyst is an uncommon finding in adults.

AIM:

To report a case of a sigmoid- urachal- cutaneous fistula.

CASE REPORT:

A 51 years old adult male presented with fecaloid leaking from rupture of an infected urachal cyst. Definitive management consisted of resection of the urachus with a bladder cuff, along with removal of the affected bowel segments.

CONCLUSION:

Colo-urachal-cutaneous fistula is a rare condition; its management is rather complex.
