Urachal carcinoma initially presenting only as a liver metastasis, a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge: first case in literature

• Publish Date: 2025-05-04

Research Abstract:

About 90% of patients are symptomatic and hematuria is the most typical presenting symptom at diagnosis. The low incidence and the histopathologic similarities to adenocarcinoma from various sources pose a difficulty in recognizing the tumor. Our study presents the only case of a urachal carcinoma first manifesting with abdominal mass resulting from liver metastasis with no prior symptoms of urological origins. Also, our study presents the first attempt of using FLOFIRI-B to treat metastatic UraC.
