Abstract

Abstract: Urachal carcinoma is a rare malignancy of all bladder carcinomas. Metastatic lung tumours showing multiple nodules are rare without a local recurrence. We describe a case of multiple metastatic lung cancer from urachal carcinoma that required differentiation from primary lung cancer. Abstract : Urachal cancer, a rare malignancy, constitutes <1% of all bladder cancers. The prognosis of metastatic urachal cancer is extremely poor. Cases of distant metastasis without local recurrence alone are relatively rare. We describe a case of multiple metastatic lung cancer from urachal carcinoma that required differentiation from primary lung cancer.
