Urethral diverticular carcinoma

M Clayton et al. Cancer. .

Abstract

Background: Urethral diverticular carcinoma is an unusual finding in a urologic lesion commonly found in female patients.

Methods: This report presents 6 new cases and reviews the other 53 cases in the English literature.

Results: Adenocarcinoma occurs more frequently than transitional and squamous cell cancers combined.

Conclusion: The prognosis of the former is more favorable. In general, radical therapy is recommended. However, in some instances of localized disease, and with careful follow-up, a more conservative approach might be attempted.
