Résumé

Urachal cancer is a rare and aggressive type of cancer, frequently characterized by a lack of prominent symptoms. We herein report a case of a 50-year-old female with mucin-producing adenocarcinoma originating from the urachus who underwent partial cystectomy and the patient remains disease-free for 30 months after treatment.
