Transitional cell carcinoma in a urethral diverticulum with a calculus.
About 38 cases of carcinoma in a female urethral diverticulum have been reported previously. We report the first case of a transitional cell carcinoma arising in a female urethral diverticulum containing a calculus. The clinical features mimic a simple urethral diverticulum with a calculus and if biopsies are not done routinely a tumor can be missed easily.
