A case of adenocarcinoma arising within a urethral diverticulum diagnosed only by the surgical specimen.
We report an extremely rare case of a 50-year-old woman with an adenocarcinoma arising within a urethral diverticulum. She could not be diagnosed correctly before operation and the microscopic pathological examination of the surgical specimen was the only indication showing the cancer origin.
