Diagnosis of urachal carcinoma by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Urachal carcinoma is an extremely rare tumor. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful to correctly diagnose and stage such lesions preoperatively. The characteristic location and appearance of such tumors on CT and MRI is discussed and a review of urachal carcinoma is presented.
