| Abstract: |
| Primary urachal carcinoma is a very rare cancer with a poor prognosis. It generally presents as a highgrade,
high-stage tumor, and in most cases the patient has developed regional or distant metastasis
at the time of presentation. Here, we report a very interesting case of primary urachal adenocarcinoma
with signet ring cell carcinoma in a 58-year-old male who presented with a lower abdominal mass and
discomfort. In this case, urachal carcinoma was successfully treated with surgery using an extended partial
bladder cystectomy approach with excision of the urachal mass and umbilicus. The patient also underwent
systematic chemotherapy with 5-fluorourical and cisplatin. During the 12-month follow-up period, the patient
did not experience recurrence or metastasis. Overall, we found that an organ preserving extended partial
cystectomy along with chemotherapy was an optimal treatment method that helped improve the patient’s
quality of the life with no recurrence of cancer so far. |
