Urachal adenocarcinoma: a rare case report

چکیده
Urachal carcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of bladder cancer involving the urachus, a fibrous remnant of the allantois that extends from the bladder to the umbilicus. We report this case of a 49-year-old women with primary urachal adenocarcinoma treated with partial cystectomy who relapsed 5 years after surgery with lung metastases. This patient with unremarkable medical history presented with abdominal discomfort and a palpable pelvic mass. Follow-up imaging reveals a large mass on the dome of the bladder extending from the urachus. Subsequent ultrasound-guided biopsy result was suggestive of an urachal mucinous adenocarcinoma. The patient was treated surgically with a partial cystectomy.
