Abstrak

Urachus is a tubular structure connecting the allatois to the bladder's apex, in the embryonic development. We report a rare case of a 5-year-old boy, with no past medical history, complaining of secondary enuresis, pollakiuria and urgent incontinence. Physical exam revealed a hypogastric mass. Echo guided percutaneous biopsy followed by a histological analysis showed embryonal RMS. The remainder of the staging ruled out metastasis. The patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy before proceeding to complete tumor excision. Surgical exploration revealed that the tumor was primitively related to the urachus. Total resection was performed. The one year follow-up was uneventful.
