“…On gross examination, the tumor presents as a fusiform swelling in the cord surrounded by edema of the Wharton jelly. Umbilical cord cysts are usually classified as true cysts, which are epithelial-lined cysts derived from embryological remnants of the allantois or omphalomesenteric duct and pseudocysts, which arise from degeneration of Wharton’s jelly surrounding the cord vessels 4 . Until now, a total of 8 cases of umbilical cord hemangioma associated with cystic changes in the umbilical cord have been reported in the literature, and only one case showed an associated cyst derived from inclusion of the amniotic epithelium 5-13 .…”

“…The urachus is an embryological remnant that connects the umbilicus and anterior wall of the bladder. During the fourth or fifth months of embryonic development, the urachus is gradually occluded as a fibrous cord 1 . However, up to 30% of the human urachus is not completely occluded before birth and may persist into adulthood.…”

Introduction: Urachus carcinoma is a rare malignancy with an aggressive potential and a poor prognosis, and evidence is limited for its diagnosis and treatment. Case presentation: A 75-year-old man underwent fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography for staging prostate cancer, and a mass (standardized uptake value max 9.5) was observed on the outside of the urinary bladder dome. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed the urachus and a low-intensity tumor, which suggested a malignant tumor. We suspected urachal carcinoma and performed total resection of the urachus and partial cystectomy. Pathological examination revealed mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma with cells positive for CD20 and negative for CD3, CD5, and cyclin D1. After the surgery, no recurrence has been observed for more than 2 years. Conclusion:We encountered an extremely rare case of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the urachus. Surgical resection of the tumor provided an accurate diagnosis and good disease control.

Urachal cancer is very rare, accounting for only 0.5–2% of bladder-associated malignancies and 0.01% of all cancers in adults. It has an insidious appearance, an aggressive behavior and a poor prognosis. The most common symptoms are hematuria and the presence of a palpable hypogastric mass. The scarcity of cases and the low number of studies carried out explains the lack of an evidence-based management strategy, but it seems that surgical treatment (open, laparoscopy or robot-assisted) represents the gold standard, while neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy has a limited impact on overall survival. Since mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of urachal origin is a very uncommon pathological condition the differential diagnosis may be difficult and pathological investigations have to elucidate this disorder. It is worth mentioning the psychological impact on the patient in addition to the medical aspects. A rare condition is associated with heightened risk for mental health and psychosocial difficulties and this must be taken into account in the subsequent follow-up of the patient. In order to increase awareness of this rare entity we report a case of a 40-year-old male with a urachal adenocarcinoma who was treated surgically, with a favorable outcome. We also perform a brief literature review about this type of tumor.
