Abstract
SUMMARY: Five cases of carcinoma of the urachus are reported. The factors contributing to the poor prognosis are discussed. Improved survival may follow earlier diagnosis; a biopsy should be taken from all isolated tumours at the bladder apex, and if the tumour is found to be an adenocarcinoma the urachus is the most likely site of origin. Treatment is by radical surgery in early cases; the place of radiotherapy is as yet undecided.Keywords
