Popis: Urachal tumors account for only 0.01% of all malignancies and 0.3% of all bladder tumors. Of the urachal tumors described previously most were adenocarcinoma. To our knowledge only 7 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the urachus have been reported in the literature with no tumor-free survival after the first year. We report a case of urachal squamous cell carcinoma discovered on cystoscopic examination with the longest postoperative tumor-free survival to date of longer than 18 months at last followup.
