Abstract:
Sixty-seven cases of inverted papilloma have been reported in many anatomical sites of urinary tract but only 9 cases involving the posterior urethra have been described in Japan. We report the 10th case of inverted papilloma of the posterior urethra in a 27-year-old male who complained of macroscopic hematuria. The lesion was diagnosed cystoscopically and treated by transurethral resection.
Insights
Inverted papilloma of the posterior urethra is rare, with only 10 cases reported in Japan. This study details the 10th case in a young male presenting with hematuria, successfully treated with transurethral resection.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Inverted papilloma (IP) is a rare benign neoplasm.
- While IPs can occur in various urinary tract sites, posterior urethral involvement is exceptionally uncommon.
- This study contributes to the limited case series of posterior urethral IPs.
Observation:
- A 27-year-old male presented with macroscopic hematuria, a potential sign of urinary tract pathology.
- Cystoscopic examination revealed a lesion in the posterior urethra.
- The clinical presentation prompted further investigation and diagnosis.
Findings:
- The lesion was diagnosed as inverted papilloma of the posterior urethra.
- This represents the 10th reported case of posterior urethral inverted papilloma in Japan.
- The rarity of this specific anatomical location highlights diagnostic and management challenges.
Implications:
- Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for managing posterior urethral inverted papilloma.
- Transurethral resection is a viable and effective treatment modality.
- Increased awareness and reporting of such rare cases can improve understanding and clinical guidelines.
