Abstract
We report on a 44-year-old man with the rare case of a mucin-positive carci noma of the urachus. We performed extended partial cystectomy with regional staging lymphadenectomy of the obturator lymph nodes. Histological investi gation revealed a mucin-positive carcinoma of the urachus with negative lym ph nodes. For this case, we present symptoms, a plan for diagnosis, and tre atment of these tumors.
