title: [Urethral hemangioma. Description of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study briefly reviews the histological types, clinical features, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of urethral hemangioma, an uncommon benign vascular tumor.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A case of urethral hemangioma in a male patient with a long history of hematuria is described.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Urethroscystoscopy is the most useful diagnostic technique in urethral hemangioma. Treatment is by transurethral resection, radical surgery, radiotherapy or selective arterial embolization depending on tumor location, number, size and patient condition. This tumor type frequently recurs.
