Abstract
- Urachal cancer was described first in 1863 by Hue and Jacquin. Since then no more than 160 cases have been reported in the literature. In Korea only 3 cases have been reported Like this, urachal carcinoma is an uncommon neoplasm associated with a poor prognosis, partly because the location of the tumor favors a long silent course before detection that belies its aggressive nature. Recently we experienced a case of urachal adenocarcinoma which was treated successfully with partial cystectomy and en block excision of urachus including umbilicus and reviewed literature briefly.
