Özet

Introduction: Urachal carcinomas are uncommon tumors occurring mostly at the junction of the urachal ligament and bladder dome. Currently there is not an established consensus regarding the treatment of urachal carcinomas. Although radical cystectomy is the treatment of choice, partial cystectomy is recommended in suitable cases.
