article · Urology Case Reports
This is a case report about a patient presenting with a urachal mass mimicking a urachus adenocarcinoma. Cystoscopy showed a vesicourachal patent diverticulum. Histological findings after the removal of the umbilicus, urachus, urachal tumor, as well as a bladder cuff, consisted of a nonspecific polymorphous suppurative inflammatory infiltrate. Urachal adenocarcinoma is an aggressive tumor with poor prognosis if not treated while it is still localized. Surgical excision is the only recommended treatment that offers the best chances of survival. As no preoperative procedure has been proven accurate enough to rule out the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, surgery appears to be inevitable.
