We report a case of a mucin-producing adenocarcinoma in an urachal lesion. Other histological subtypes of this rare condition are mentioned. Treatment modalities for adenocarcinomas in an urachal lesion include en bloc total or partial cystectomy with excision of the urachus and umbilectomy or local resection with surveillance in highly selected cases. We discuss the reported results from these treatment modalities.

Article Synopsis
- * Most urachal cancers are classified as intestinal adenocarcinomas (90%), and they often occur in the lower urachal tube or bladder dome, leading to late diagnoses due to the silent nature of early stages.
- * Treatment options for this aggressive cancer include surgery and chemotherapy (like cisplatin), with some patients showing positive responses to targeted therapies; a case study highlighted successful surgical treatment for a patient with advanced disease.

Background And Aim: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an unusual condition with unique behaviour caused by a mucinous neoplasm, usually arising from the appendix. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of genomic alterations in clinical specimens of PMP using a targeted assay and correlate the findings with clinical, pathological and outcome data. Sequencing data from 223 patients were analysed.

Article Synopsis
- * The case series discusses three elderly women with similar umbilical-related issues, highlighting the diagnostic challenges due to similarities with benign conditions.
- * Accurate diagnosis requires integrating clinical findings, imaging results, and pathology, as seen in the differing outcomes: a Sister Mary Joseph nodule, liposarcoma, and an infected urachal cyst.

This study describes a novel surgical method to remove urinary bladder-related urachal abscesses in a cow. Traditional methods, such as the midline or paramedian approach in calves and the preinguinal approach, can be challenging in adult cattle, especially for lesions situated near the pelvic cavity. In this case, a 4-year-old cow had a urachal abscess attached to the bladder apex, making it difficult to approach via abdominal wall incision.

Urachal adenocarcinoma is an unusual and aggressive form of bladder cancer that arises from urachus, a midline fibrous remnant of allantois. Experience with diagnosing them is limited and differentiating urachal adenocarcinoma from other urachal pathologies like infected urachal cysts may be difficult at times. Differentials of urachal anomalies can be narrowed down by proper assessment of patient demographics, clinical details, lesion morphology, and imaging findings.
