Abstract
Untreated bladder exstrophy in an adult is rare, as the defect is obvious and primary reconstruction is usually done in infancy. There are less than 90 reported cases of primary adenocarcinoma in an untreated bladder exstrophy in literature and only two such case reports from India. We report the case of adenocarcinoma in a 29 year old male with untreated bladder exstrophy to highlight the extreme rarity, yet distinct possibility and challenges faced in surgical management of such cases.
