Abstract EN
Urachus is the remnant of the embryologic allantois and the fetal bladder, extending form the bladder roof to the umbilicus.
It degenerates in the prenatal period into a tissue band known as the median umbilical ligament.
Incomplete degeneration may lead to urachal diverticle development.
It is difficult to diagnose unless it is considered in differential diagnosis and imaging modalities are employed.
This paper describes a patient treated with partial cystectomy for urachal diverticle, and the pathologic examination revealed urachal adenocarcinoma.
