title: Carcinoma of the urachus demonstrated by CT.
abstract: Carcinoma of the urachus is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis. Only a few cases explored by CT have been reported until now. This report illustrates the value of CT in establishing the diagnosis and the tumor extension. Furthermore this patient has a probable biological tracer with positive dosage of carcino-embryogenic antigen (CEA).
