title: Morphological-metabolic evaluation of the urachal mucinous adenocarcinoma by positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT).
abstract: The urachal mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm located between the bladder and the umbilicus. It is usually found in an advanced stage at the moment of diagnosis. We have analyzed a clinical case in which the PET-CT study provided valuable morphological and metabolic information for diagnosis and staging.
