The authors report a rare association of adenocarcinoma of the urachus and urothelial bladder carcinoma. Treatment consisted of cystoprostatectomy with removal of the urachus and cutaneous ureterostomy. A review of the literature indicates that adjuvant treatment has yet to be defined. This is a chance association whose prognosis depends on the invasive nature of the urothelial tumour.
