“…[12] While the pathology in our patient was benign, urachal adenocarcinoma is most appropriately treated with partial cystectomy and en block resection of the urachus. [13] With his in mind, we performed a similar procedure utilizing a minimally invasive approach with a few important differences. We omitted the obligatory umbilical resection as well as the pelvic lymph node dissection.…”

We report a case of an urachal hamartoma in a 30-year-old African American woman. The urachal lesion was excised with a robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy. Pathologic analysis revealed cysts, smooth muscle, and ciliated epithelium consistent with a hamartoma. The patient recovered without complication. This case highlights an unusual pathology that is infrequently reported following urachal remnant excision.

Case Report AbstractTreatment of urachal adenocarcinoma (UA) of the urinary bladder has typically been with radical cystectomy (RC) but more conservative approaches are gaining popularity. Here we present the case of a female patient with metastatic primary bladder UA who was treated with robotic partial cystectomy (RPC) and adjuvant chemotherapy; she is alive with no evidence of disease recurrence or metastatic disease at 5 years. This case provides some of the longest follow-up after RPC to date thereby demonstrating that RPC is a safe and oncologically viable treatment for selected patients even several years after definitive treatment.Patients undergoing RPC benefit from the reduced morbidity associated with this less radical treatment whilst enjoying similarly successful oncological outcomes to RC.

“…Patients with advanced/metastatic disease who undergo chemotherapy and or radiation may improve disease free survival [1,8]. According to a recent clinical guide for treatment of urachal vesical adenocarcinoma the authors opined that due to a higher risk of post operative relapse reported especially in those with positive tumour margins, lymph node positivity, peritoneal involvement, or if an en-bloc resection of umbilicus was omitted predict a group of patients where one could consider adjuvant chemotherapy [16].…”

Urinary bladder cancer is the second most frequent tumour of the genitourinary tract with bladder adenocarcinoma comprising for about 0.5-2% of all malignant bladder tumours. Other primary sites for such tumours include rectum, stomach, endometrium, breast, prostate, seminal vesicles and ovaries. Such non-urothelial bladder tumours with intramural bladder tumour growth may delay the onset of symptoms which may lead to a delay in the diagnosis and thereby adversely affecting the prognosis as compared to urothelial
