Abstract
- A 61-year-old woman presented to the gynecology department with complaints of atypical genital bleeding. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a localized urethral tumor extended to vagina. Histological test of the biopsy tissue of the mass suggested the adenocarcinoma. The patient was performed the fenestration of the anterior vaginal wall 15 years ago. Under the diagnosis of urethral diverticular adenocarcinoma, we performed standard open total cystectomy with lymph node excision and ileal conduit. We could not establish a diagnosis of urethral diverticulum from the histological test; however, we clinically diagnosed as urethral diverticular adenocarcinoma. Because carcinoma arising from urethral diverticula is reported, a close long-term follow-up for the recurrence or generation of malignant tumors by genitourinary examinations or images is necessary, for the patient with urethral diverticula.
