We report a urachal adenocarcinoma metastatic to both ovaries in a 50-year-old Japanese woman. Pelvic examination and imaging studies revealed a large cystic tumor occupying the pelvis and another cystic tumor between the umbilicus and the urinary bladder. A laparotomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a urachal tumor that was a well-differentiated invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma; the overlying urothelium was intact. The right and left ovarian tumors were well-differentiated mucinous adenocarcinomas. The urachal and ovarian tumors were immunoreactive for cytokeratin 20 and carcinoembryonic antigen, but negative for cytokeratin 7. The patient is alive with lymph node and bone metastases 6 months postoperatively. This is the eighth reported case of an adenocarcinoma of the bladder with ovarian metastasis.

D007381 Intermediate Filament Proteins Filaments 7-11 nm in diameter found in the cytoplasm of all cells. Many specific proteins belong to this group, e.g., desmin, vimentin, prekeratin, decamin, skeletin, neurofilin, neurofilament protein, and glial fibrillary acid protein.

D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.
