title: Urachal adenocarcinoma. A case report.
abstract: A 21-year-old woman, previously operated for an acute abdomen from an infected urachal cyst, developed an urachal carcinoma. The importance of systematically and completely exciding urachal cysts is stressed by clinical considerations of the uncommon neoplasm that is associated with a poor prognosis.
