Urethral adenocarcinoma associated with urethral diverticulum in a patient with progressive voiding dysfunction

Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2003 Apr;188(4):1111-2. doi: 10.1067/mob.2003.246.

Abstract

Urethral adenocarcinoma associated with urethral diverticulum is a rare condition that requires a high index of suspicion to ensure early diagnosis and appropriate therapy. The development of urethral stenosis in a patient with a urethral diverticulum warrants early biopsy to rule out a malignant lesion.
