Abstract
Background. The detection rate of urachus cancer is 0.35-0.7% of all cases of oncological pathology of the bladder and only 0.01% of all malignant tumors. Due to the low prevalence of urachus tumors to date, there are no uniform recommendations for palliative chemotherapy for this nosology. Description of the clinical case. The article describes a case of treatment of a rare urachus tumor with a combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin with a response to therapy. Conclusion. Palliative chemotherapy with paclitaxel+carboplatin made it possible to stabilize the disease for 4 months and preserve the patient’s satisfactory quality of life.
