Abstract:
Villous adenoma of the genitourinary system is rarely encountered by the general urologist. Although commonly seen in a colorectal practice, this tumor has been infrequently described in the urethra or bladder. In the genitourinary tract, this tumor appears to have excellent survival when isolated; however, it does have an association with adenocarcinoma of the genitourinary or gastrointestinal tract. Here we present a case of villous adenoma of the urethra managed with a multidisciplinary approach, which led to discovery of invasive adenocarcinoma of the rectum.
