Urachal remnant is a rare disorder of the genitourinary system. It frequently manifests with urine leakage from the umbilicus but can sometimes present as an infected process. We herein describe a case of a six-year-old male presenting with an urachal abscess initially thought to be a ruptured pelvic appendicitis.
