[Inverted papilloma of the prostatic urethra: a report of two cases]
1The Department of Urology, Kariwagun General Hospital.
Abstract:
Two men with inverted papilloma of the prostatic urethra are reported. Case 1 was a 67-year-old man with complaints of gross hematuria and urinary retention. Urethroscopy revealed a smooth-surface tumor with a stalk at the prostatic urethra. Case 2 was a 76-year-old man with complaints of gross hematuria and urinary retention. In these cases, the tumors were resected transurethrally and were consistent with inverted papilloma histopathologically.
Insights
Two cases of inverted papilloma in the prostatic urethra were successfully treated. These rare tumors, presenting with hematuria and urinary retention, were resected transurethrally.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pathology
Background:
- Inverted papilloma is a rare benign tumor that can occur in the urinary tract.
- Prostatic urethra involvement is uncommon, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
Observation:
- Two male patients, aged 67 and 76, presented with gross hematuria and urinary retention.
- Urethroscopy identified a smooth-surfaced, stalked tumor in the prostatic urethra in both cases.
Findings:
- Transurethral resection was performed for both tumors.
- Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of inverted papilloma in both resected specimens.
Implications:
- This report highlights the successful management of prostatic urethra inverted papilloma through transurethral resection.
- Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in these rare cases.
