Primary urachal adenocarcinoma treated with partial cystectomy - Case report
Primary urachal adeno carcinoma is a rare disease. Due to the rarity of the case there is no standard clinical guideline for the management of urachal cancer. Its tendency for local invasion, late symptomatic presentation, and metastasis can lead to a poor prognosis. Timely diagnosis and early partial or radical cystectomy with enbloc resection of the urachus and umbilicus is critical for the survival of the patient.
