title: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the urethra: a rare extranodal entity.
abstract: We report a rare case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the urethra in a female patient. A review of the literature showed that all such reported cases were described in females, were of varying histologic grade, and presented as a polyp or caruncle. Whether this entity is often localized and has the excellent prognosis of early carcinoma of the urethra will have to be determined by study of more cases.
