title: [Cancer of the urachus].
abstract: Carcinoma of urachal origin is a special type of primary vesical adenocarcinoma. Because of the anatomic and histologic character of this tumour the therapy is different from that of transitional carcinomas. Diagnostic modalities including ultrasonography and computed tomography are demonstrated. The findings are compared with those of an ovarial carcinoma metastasis also located in the bladder dome.
