    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Urologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Urachal carcinoma is a rare malignancy arising from the urachus, a remnant of the allantois.
    • Clinical presentation is often delayed, leading to late-stage diagnosis.
    • Preoperative diagnostic modalities are essential for timely intervention.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a patient with urachal carcinoma.
    • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was utilized for preoperative evaluation.
    • Specific radiographic features suggestive of urachal carcinoma were identified.

    Findings:

    • MRI was instrumental in suggesting the diagnosis of urachal carcinoma preoperatively.
    • More significantly, MRI provided accurate preoperative staging of the urachal neoplasm.

  • This highlights the utility of advanced imaging in managing rare cancers.

    • Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of urachal carcinoma can be achieved with MRI.
    • Preoperative staging using MRI improves surgical planning and patient outcomes.
    • This case underscores the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing and staging rare urachal tumors.
