Abstract:
The urothelial carcinoma of the male urethra is a rare entity. This study reports a case of the urethra’s urothelial carcinoma in a 71-year-old man who sought medical attention for an ulcerative-burgeoning swelling of the penis, centered on the meatus region (annex 1, 2).
The pelvic MRI performed had revealed a well-limited tissular ulcerative-burgeoning structure localized at the same level as the glans, with irregular contours. Its’ histological examination has confirmed a urothelial carcinoma of the urethra.
The patient refused any additional treatment, the lymphadenectomy included. He then presented a local recurrence 4 months later.
