Abstract

We report a case of a mucin-producing adenocarcinoma in an urachal lesion. Other histological subtypes of this rare condition are mentioned. Treatment modalities for adenocarcinomas in an urachal lesion include en bloc total or partial cystectomy with excision of the urachus and umbilectomy or local resection with surveillance in highly selected cases. We discuss the reported results from these treatment modalities.
