Abstract
Urachal carcinoma is a rare pathology of the lower urinary tract. In a review of the largest case series, five-year overall survival was about 50 %. The poor prognosis is mainly attributed to advanced stage of the disease due to relative absence of symptoms in localized disease, the difficulty of identification by cystoscopy, and the lack of clear consensus regarding investigation and treatment of localized and advanced disease.
We report a case of treatment of a 46-year-old patient with primary urachal carcinoma. Cystoscopy revealed a lesion on the bladder closer to the apex. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvic organs revealed a picture of a malignant neoplasm of the bladder with growth into the paravesical tissue and the anterior wall of the bladder. The patient underwent surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
