Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare neoplasm, with urachal involvement being particularly uncommon.
2

A 62-year-old female presented with urinary frequency and dysuria, leading to the discovery of a urachal mass via imaging.
3

Surgical intervention involved laparoscopic resection of the urachal mass and partial cystectomy, confirming IMT through histopathology.

Histopathological analysis showed spindle-shaped cells and positivity for ALK and vimentin, with negative margins achieved.
