title: Primary transitional cell carcinoma of anterior male urethra: a rare case.
abstract: We report a rare case of primary transitional cell carcinoma in a man aged 56 years old. Approximately 600 cases of primary carcinoma of the male urethra have been accumulated until today (1). The 30 to 50 per cent of these neoplasms originate in the anterior urethra and only the 15 per cent are of the transitional cell type (2).
