title: [Urachal carcinoma accompanied with calcification: report of a case].
abstract: Carcinoma of urachus accompanied with calcification is rarely encountered. A 37-year-old man presented with the complaint of mucus discharge on voiding. A plain X-ray film of his abdomen showed the presence of calcification at the urinary bladder. A hemispheric tumor at the top of the urinary bladder was seen on cystoscopic examination. The results of urine cytology and cold-punch biopsy supported the diagnosis; carcinoma of urachus. En bloc segmental resection was performed. Histopathologically, the tumor was composed of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma producing mucus. Now, he is alive and has no evidence of recurrence. This is the 9th report on carcinoma of urachus with calcification in the Japanese literature.
