Urachal adenocarcinoma in an adolescent boy: a case report

Urachal remnants may lead to urinary symptoms and the development of urachal carcinoma. A history of smoking and alcohol consumption could be possible risk factors for urachal adenocarcinoma in this case. It is possible that urachal remnants can undergo malignant transformation, even at ages as young as 15 years. Regular follow-up should be recommended for patients whose urachal remnants persist beyond childhood.

Abstract

Urachal remnants may lead to urinary symptoms and the development of urachal carcinoma. A history of smoking and alcohol consumption could be possible risk factors for urachal adenocarcinoma in this case. It is possible that urachal remnants can undergo malignant transformation, even at ages as young as 15 years. Regular follow-up should be recommended for patients whose urachal remnants persist beyond childhood.
