Abstract

DONATE MORENO, M.J. et al. Urachal pathology: an overview revision and presentation of three clinical cases. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2005, vol.29, n.3, pp.332-336. ISSN 0210-4806.

With the use of these two clinical cases (cyst and urachal adenocarcinoma) we did an overview of the urachal pathology. The urachus cyst is usually asyntomathic, it's detected randomly when we do other diagnostic tests or when we have any complications. The urachal adenocarcinoma is a rare pathology, it usually exhibit hematuria and we need to follow the same diagnostic tools as we use in vesical tumors (cystoscopy and transurethral vesical resection). Adenocarcinoma of the dome of the bladder is the main differential diagnosis. Partial cystectomy is the first choice treatment. Quimiotheraphy and radiotheraphy offer poor results.

Keywords : Urachal pathology; Urachus cyst; Urachal adenocarcinoma; Urachus.
