title: Primary transitional cell carcinoma of the anterior urethra: a rare presentation.
abstract: A 72 year old Caucasian male presented with symptoms and signs of littritis. There was no response to a two week course of doxycycline. Cysto-urethroscopy revealed a transitional cell carcinoma of the anterior urethra. As there was no response to deep x-ray therapy, radical amputation of the penis was carried out. The literature pertaining to this rare entity is reviewed.
