Int J Urol. 2004 Nov;11(11):1033-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1442-2042.2004.00940.x.

Abstract

We present a case of colonic-type adenocarcinoma, which might arise from an urachal remnant through a villous adenoma. The cancer tissue in the present case showed focal immunoreaction to prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This is the first report of urachal adenocarcinoma expressing PSA.
