Urachal adenocarcinoma: a rare bladder tumor management

Urachal adenocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of non-urothelial carcinoma. It commonly encountered the bladder at the dome or along its midline. Adenocarcinoma histology with frequent mucinous or signet ring cell features distinguishes it from traditional urothelial tumours. It usually manifests in adults aged 47 to 56, with an even distribution between genders. It constitutes about 0.5 to 2 % of all bladder malignancies. Surgery remains the primary treatment modality in prolonging patients’ overall survival time. We wish to discuss a case of a patient diagnosed with urachal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract

Urachal adenocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of non-urothelial carcinoma. It commonly encountered the bladder at the dome or along its midline. Adenocarcinoma histology with frequent mucinous or signet ring cell features distinguishes it from traditional urothelial tumours. It usually manifests in adults aged 47 to 56, with an even distribution between genders. It constitutes about 0.5 to 2 % of all bladder malignancies. Surgery remains the primary treatment modality in prolonging patients’ overall survival time. We wish to discuss a case of a patient diagnosed with urachal adenocarcinoma.
