Description
Summary:Urachal carcinoma is an aggressive and rare neoplasia of bladder cancer involving the urachus. The diagnostic failure is due to its insidious development as well as its non-specific clinical signs. Management constitutes a real dilemma for urological surgeons. We describe two pathological cases of urachal adenocarcinoma revealed by isolated hematuria. •Urachus cancer is a rare malignant tumor.•The tomodensitometry is the reference examination which makes it possible to think of the diagnosis in front of a mass of urachus.•Surgery remains the gold standard for therapeutic management.•The prognosis is pejorative because of the aggressiveness of the tumor of the delayed diagnosis.
