Abstract

Actinomycosis involving the urachal remnant is extremely rare. Urachal actinomycosis may mimic urachal carcinoma and other infectious conditions of the urachal remnant or the abdominal wall. We report computed tomography (CT) findings of actinomycosis involving the urachal remnant in two patients who were surgically treated.
