Abstract Objective: To discuss findings of urachal carcinoma by MSCT, and improve the ability for the diagnostic level of the disease. Methods: The MSCT findings of eight cases with surgically proven urachal carcinomas were retrospectively reviewed. CT images were evaluated to determine tumor localization, morphology, density, enhanced pattern, extent of local invasion and metastases, and compared with pathology. Results: MSCT in all eight cases showed a mass located in the midline between the dome of the bladder and the umbilicus. Seven cases were mixed cystic solid lesions and one case was completely solid. Calcifications were present in five cases. All lesions showed heterogeneous enhancement after contrast administration. Bladder mucosal invasion was present in seven cases, was seen as an intra luminal irregular mass. Conclusion: MSCT examination before surgery is useful to correctly diagnose of urachal carcinoma which showed unique location and characteristic imaging findings.
