title: Intraurethral thrombosed varix: unusual cause for hematuria.
abstract: A case of an intraurethral thrombosed vein as a cause for painless hematuria is presented. In contrast to previous reports, the thrombosed varix was located in the midurethra rather than at the urethral meatus. The necessity for biopsy to differentiate from tumor is emphasized.
