Primary urachal adenocarcinoma is an aggressive rare cancer that often presents at advanced stages with poor prognosis. We report this case of a 52-year-old patient with a stage-I (Mayo Clinic) primary urachal adenocarcinoma with good outcomes after surgery in a 2-year follow-up period. We analyze epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features of this disease in the literature review.
