ABSTRACT
Primary urethral carcinoma accounts for less than 1% of the malignancies in males and adenocarcinoma accounts for 5% of all urethral carcinomas. A 36-year-old man with a history suggestive of urethral stricture was scheduled to undergo retrograde urethrography and visual urethrotomy. On urethroscopic examination, an abnormal polypoid mass was found in the proximal bulbous urethra, so transurethral resection biopsy was added to the urethrotomy. Histopathologic examination demonstrated urethral adenocarcinoma with no invasion to the corpus spongiosum and cavernosa on the magnetic resonance imaging. There was no evidence of metastasis and the search for the primary focus of adenocarcinoma revealed that the tumor originated from the urethra. The patient underwent segmental urethral resection and there has been no recurrence for 1-year follow-up.
