Popis: Urachal adenocarcinomas, constituting 10 % of bladder adenocarcinomas, pose a significant challenge with limited literature. A 43-year-old male presented with haematuria and abdominal pain, leading to surgical intervention for a 13 cm pelvic tumor. Histopathology identified an intestinal-type primary urachal adenocarcinoma, staged as IIIA, no recurrence on follow-up. Early detection is crucial for improved outcomes in these rare malignancies. While surgery remains the primary treatment, outcomes vary, emphasizing the need for research on standardized protocols. Enhanced awareness and interdisciplinary collaboration are vital for effective management. Comprehensive guidelines are essential for optimizing patient prognoses in urachal adenocarcinomas.
