Abstract
Urachal carcinoma is rare and aggressive, involving the urachus, a derivative of the allantois that extends from the bladder to the umbilicus the association with sigmoid-fistula is extremely rare. We report a case about a 45 year old woman who presented with an infected abdominal mass. An ultrasound and CT scan were performed revealing a large mass on the dome of the bladder extending from the urachus with a sigmoid fistula suggestive of an urachal adenocarcinoma that were confirmed on a surgical biopsy. An anterior pelvectomy was performed with a good outcome.
