We report a rare case of urachal abscess which accumulated F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in a 55-year-old man. FDG PET/CT images showed intense FDG uptake in its upper portion with acute inflammation and little FDG uptake in its lower portion with chronic inflammation and fibrosis. When FDG uptake is noted in the urachal region, urachal abscess should be included in the differential diagnosis.
