A case of 14-year-old girl is reported who presented with features of tuberculous subacute intestinal obstruction. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a urachal cyst associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). Histopathology confirmed a moderately differentiated mucin secreting adenocarcinoma of urachal cyst associated with PMP. The adenocarcinoma of urachal cyst associated with PMP is further reviewed.
