About the urachus and its pathology. A clinical case of urachus tumor.

Urachus diseases represent a relatively rare kind of affliction in child or adult abdominal or urological surgical pathology. The preservation of the urachus lumen leads to rare afflictions, noticed mostly after birth or when they become clinically manifest by various complications. More often than not, these pathological entities require surgical interventions (if the urachal lumen does not close by itself), consisting of partial or total excision of the urachus.
