ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Presentar dos casos de adenocarcinoma de uraco y realizar una revisión de la literatura publicada. Método/RESULTADO: Se presenta una revisión de nuestros casos de adenocarcinoma de uraco de nuestro hospital terciario entre 1990 y 2011 en un área de 520.000 habitantes. Ambos casos eran hombres de mediana edad, que consultaron por infecciones urinarias repetidas, hematuria, masa abdominal y secreción mucosa por la uretra. Inicialmente se les realizó una cistectomía parcial con quimioterapia adyuvante en un caso, y quimio y radioterapia en el otro. Uno de los pacientes precisó una cistectomía radical de rescate. El primer paciente falleció por progresión a los 3 años y el segundo continúa vivo tras 4 años de seguimiento. CONCLUSIONES: Los adenocarcinomas de uraco de la vejiga son tumores raros cuya historia natural no ha cambiado en los últimos a pesar de nuevos protocolos de quimioterapia. La cistectomía parcial abierta con resección en bloque de la cúpula de la vejiga, el uraco y el ombligo es el tratamiento estándar en estadios localizados. La mayoría de los pacientes son diagnosticados en una etapa local avanzada o metastásica. Se necesitan nuevos protocolos quimioterápicos que permitan aumentar la SPV en estadíos avanzados


OBJECTIVE: To report two cases of urachal adenocarcinoma and to review the published literature. Methods/ RESULTS: We present a review of our urachal carcinoma cases from a third level hospital between 1990- 2011 in an area of 520.000 inhabitants. Both cases were middle aged men, consulting for repeated urine infections, and abdominal mass with hematuria and mucous discharge through the urethra. They were treated initially with partial cystectomy and adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy in one case, and chemo and radiotherapy in the other. The first case died in 3 years and the other is still alive after 4 years of follow up. CONCLUSIONS: Urachal adenocarcinomas of the bladder are rare tumors the natural history of which has not changed during the last years. Open partial cystectomy with en bloc resection of the bladder dome, urachus and the umbilicus is the standard treatment in localized stages, although minimal invasive techniques appear to have the same oncological outcomes. Pelvic lymphadenectomy is advised. Most of the patients are diagnosed at an advanced local or metastatic stage. There is a need to improve diagnostic techniques for early treatment and to find new chemotherapy protocols that can help to improve these patients' survival
