Popis:	Urachal carcinoma is a highly uncommon malignancy with an estimated prevalence of 0.01% to 0.02% of all adult cancers. Due to its rarity, no standardized management protocol for urachal cancer has been developed. Surgery is often the main therapeutic measure. A 48-year-old man presented with hematuria for 8 months. Imaging revealed a mass at the bladder dome. Biopsy indicated mixed adenocarcinoma with a small cell component. Radical cystoprostatectomy with ileal urostomy was performed. After surgical resection, he was diagnosed with urachal adenocarcinoma (mixed type). The patient tolerated surgery and was discharged home uneventfully. Follow-up computed tomography at 6 months was negative.
