title: An unusual cause of urethral stricture: urethral lymphangioma.
abstract: We report an unusual case of urethral narrowing which is caused by lymphangioma. The natural history of lymphangioma of the urethra is described. To our knowledge, lymphangioma of the urethra as a cause of urethral stricture has not been reported to date. Although lymphangioma of the urethra is a benign disease, it must be included among the causes of urethral stricture.
