Abstract

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. Materials and Method: A case of a localized urachal carcinoma at the bladder dome in a 28-year-old male patient is described and patient's clinical history, diagnostic imaging findings and treatment are presented and discussed. Results: Clinical, radiological findings and cystoscopy revealed an urachal carcinoma at the anterior wall of the bladder and partial cystectomy was performed. Histopathologic diagnosis confirmed a well differentiated, colonic type urachal adenocarcinoma with locally invasion to the bladder dome. Conclusion: Although urachus carcinoma is rare, partial cystectomy can be offered as a conservative surgical option in particularly young patients with localized and well-differentiated tumors.

Özet

Urakus kanserleri ender rastlanan tümörler olup, en sık urakus ile mesane kubbesinin birleşim yerinde görülmektedir. Günümüzde urakus kanserlerinin tedavisinde fikir birliği yoktur. Radikal sistektomi seçilecek cerrahi yaklaşımı olup, uygun olgularda parsiyel sistektomi de önerilmektedir. Tümörün düşük evreli, iyi diferansiye, lokalize olması, mesane kubbesinde yerleşimi ve mesane ürotelyumu ile arasında keskin bir demarkasyon hattının olması parsiyel sistektomi yapılmasına olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu sunumda makroskobik hematüri yakınması ile başvuran 28 yaşındaki erkek hastada radyolojik görüntüleme yöntemleri ve sistoskopi ile saptanan, mesane ön duvarı yerleşimli ve sistemik yayılımı olmayan bir urakus kanseri olgusunun klinik, radyolojik, histopatolojik özellikleri aktarılmış, parsiyel sistektomi ile tedavisi literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.
