title: [A case report of inverted papilloma of the posterior urethra].
abstract: A case of inverted papilloma of the posterior urethra is reported. A 59-year-old male was admitted with the chief complaint of hematuria. Urethrogram revealed a small defect in the neck of the bladder. Endoscopic examination revealed a polypoid tumor on the stalk arising from prostatic urethra, and transurethral resection was performed. The patient has been subsequently followed up and there has been no evidence of recurrence. Although 141 cases of inverted papilloma have been reported in many anatomical sites of the urinary tract, only 19 cases involving the posterior urethra have been described in Japan. This is the 20th case of a posterior urethra.
