Abstract
- Urachal adenocarcinoma is a rare neoplasm with difficulty in differentiation from other tumors originated from gastrointestinal systems, female genitalia or prostate. We present a patient of urachal adenocarcinoma of the bladder, who was treated with partial cystectomy and en bloc excision of urachus. She has been well without evidence of local recurrence or metastasis for up to 32 months of follow-up periods. A brief review of the literatures of urachal adenocarcinoma is made.
