Abstract

Urinary hemangiomas are uncommon and can predispose any part of the urinary system. The urethra is infrequently involved and usually affected male urethra. We reported a sixty-three-year-old female patient with intermittent urethral bleeding due to tumor arising at the edge of the urethra. Urethrocystoscopy was done prior to surgical resection and ventral vaginal graft urethroplasty was performed directly afterwards. Histopathological reported a urethral cavernous hemangioma. An individualized approach regarding the most appropriate procedure for a given patient should be recommended.
