|August 1, 1992
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.
