AB  - Benign multicystic mesothelioma (BMM) is a benign 
intra-abdominal lesion that generally occurs in women in 
their reproductive years. A urachal cyst occurs when the 
epithelial-lined urachal canal fails to completely obliterate. 
We report a case of a 38-year-old female presenting with 
abdominal pain found to have a lesion highly suspicious 
for a urachal cyst. On pathologic evaluation the lesion 
was identified as a BMM. This is the first report of BMM 
presenting as a lesion suspected to be a urachal cyst.
