“…Similarly, in a report comparing 21 urachal and 27 nonurachal tumor patients, a trend toward improved survival in urachal tumors was reported that failed to reach statistical significance (46% vs. 30%, P ¼ .14). 13 An earlier series with 17 urachal and 27 nonurachal tumors reported worse survival with urachal compared with nonurachal tumors (16% vs. 33%). 16 This study was limited because the investigators classified the urachal primary location by subjective interpretation of the pathology report.…”

“…Others have reported younger patients are at increased risk for urachal tumors relative to nonurachal primaries 3,12,13 and this may be due to the higher reported incidence in exstrophy patients. 12 The SEER database does not provide other diagnoses or birth defects, so we cannot determine what proportion of patients had exstrophy, although it is likely to be small.…”

“…The demographics are different, with urachal tumors reported to occur in younger patients. 3,12,13 Anatomically, although primary bladder adenocarcinomas arise from any portion of the urothelium, urachal tumors originate from a remnant of the urogenital sinus that extends from the bladder to the umbilicus. 14 The urachus normally obliterates during fetal development and persists as a functionless, fibrous cord known as the median umbilical ligament.…”

Background The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted a health hazard evaluation (HHE) of a water‐damaged school in New Orleans (NO), Louisiana. Our aim in this evaluation was to document employee health effects related to exposure to the water‐damaged school, and to determine if VCS testing could serve as a biomarker of effect for occupants who experienced adverse health effects in a water‐damaged building. Methods NIOSH physicians and staff administered a work history and medical questionnaire, conducted visual contrast sensitivity (VCS) testing, and collected sticky‐tape, air, and dust samples at the school. Counting, culturing, and/or a DNA‐based technology, called mold‐specific quantitative PCR (MSQPCR), were also used to quantify the molds. A similar health and environmental evaluation was performed at a comparable school in Cincinnati, Ohio which was not water‐damaged. Results Extensive mold contamination was documented in the water‐damaged school and employees (n = 95) had higher prevalences of work‐related rashes and nasal, lower respiratory, and constitutional symptoms than those at the comparison school (n = 110). VCS values across all spatial frequencies were lower among employees at the water‐damaged school. Conclusions Employees exposed to an extensively water‐damaged environment reported adverse health effects, including rashes and nasal, lower respiratory, and constitutional symptoms. VCS values were lower in the employees at the water‐damaged school, but we do not recommend using it in evaluation of people exposed to mold. Am. J. Ind. Med. 55:844–854, 2012. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.

“…Though rare, the most common malignancy associated with an urachal cyst is Adenocarcinoma of the urachal remnant especially at the apex of the bladder. 7 Owing to the nature of the condition, a high degree of clinical suspicion followed by radiographic evaluation by ultrasonography, CT and MRI is essential for diagnosing an urachal cyst or abscess, the most common diagnostic finding includes, a midline, cystic, extraperitoneal swelling located between the bladder and the umbilicus 8 . Abdominal tomography can accurately detect the pyourachus which shows imaging of a mass located deep to the rectus abdominis between the bladder and the umbilicus with a conical shape, peripheral inflammatory changes in the surrounding tissues, and intraperitoneal fluid 9 .…”

An infected urachal cyst is one among the spectrum of presentations of urachal pathology, which are rare in adulthood. It occurs in a 2: 1 male to female ratio with an incidence of about 2% in adults. Patients with infected urachal cysts can present with a wide range of symptoms, most commonly abdominal pain, fever, umbilical discharge and the feeling of a midline mass Treatment is initiated with intravenous antibiotics followed by complete excision of the umbilicovesical tract including a cuff of bladder.
