title: [Primary transitional-cell carcinoma of the male anterior urethra].
abstract: Primary carcinomas of the male anterior urethra account for less than 1% of all urological carcinoma. The majority of these neoplasias develop of the posterior part of the urethra (proximal portion). The most common histotype is the squamous-cellular carcinoma. We have only found 4 other published reports of primary transitional carcinoma of the male anterior urethra. The paper discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures employed in these rare cases.
