A rare case of urachal mucinous adenocarcinoma detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT and MRI

Urachal adenocarcinomas are rare cancers of the urinary bladder. Both CT and MRI are useful imaging modalities for the diagnosis and evaluation of urachal adenocarcinoma. Unlike CT or MR, there have been variable FDG PET findings with urachal tumours potentially due to considerable variation in their hypermetabolism. We present the case of a 24 year-old female patient who was diagnosed with urachal mucinous adenocarcinoma with characteristic features on CT and MRI which also exhibit moderately increased FDG avidity.
