Popis:	Urachal adenocarcinoma is far less common than non-urachal adenocarcinoma of the bladder. Most cases of urachal carcinoma occur in the fifth and sixth decades of life. This disease occurs slightly more in men than in women, with a ratio, of about 1.8:1. We report a case of urachal adenocarcina in a 55-year-old woman who presented with a 3 year suprapubic mass. Examination revealed an ulcerated suprapubic mass. An incision biopsy was taken for histologic diagnosis. Fragments of slimy tissues were received and rountine HE these subtypes are similar to those of adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder.
