Abstract:
We report a case of mixed squamous-cell carcinoma with adenocarcinoma of the female urethra. A 37 year old women who presented with a 3-month' history of obstructive voiding symptoms. Clinical investigation showed a urethra tumor of 2.5 x 3.5 cm. Needle biopsy revealed a grade 3 carcinoma. Staging resulted in local cancer disease, a 2.5 x 3.5 cm tumor surrounding the whole urethra with protruding the trigonum. We performed urethrectomy with resection of the bladderneck and cystoneostomy. During bladderneck resection we performed regional staging lymphadenectomy of the obturator lymph nodes. Histological investigation revealed a mixed squamous-cell carcinoma with adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma of the urethra. Periurethral tissue showed lymphangiosis carcinomatosa with negative lymph nodes. To exclude involvement of regional superficial lymph nodes we subsequently performed modified inguinal lymphadenectomy without evidence of advanced cancer disease.

Urinary Bladder
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...
Urethra
The anatomy of the urethra differs between males and females. In females, the urethra is short, measuring about 3–4 cm in length, and opens anterior to the vaginal opening. In males, the urethra is longer and passes through the penis, serving dual purposes: expelling urine and ejaculating semen. The male urethra is...
