and Review of Literature
Genel H , Hubinont C , Baldin P , Amant F and Mhallem M
We report a case of an urachal cancer during pregnancy. The patient was referred
at 38 weeks pregnancy for suspicion of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). The only
symptom was a macroscopic hematuria during the third trimester. Obstetrical
ultrasound in tertiary center suggested a bladder tumor. A polyp was observed
at the vesical dome during the cystoscopy. After the delivery and computed
tomography, the patient underwent a tumor resection with high suspicion of
urachal cancer. A radical cystectomy and enteroplasty were performed. The
pathological findings confirmed the urachal origin of the lesion.
