[Submucous urethral angioma].
OBJECTIVE
Urethral hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor. The clinical features of this tumor type and the therapeutic options are discussed.


RESULTS
We report on a 55-year-old male with urethral hemangioma who consulted for urethral hemorrhage.


CONCLUSIONS
To our knowledge, approximately 40 cases of this rare tumor type have been reported in the literature. Urethroscopy is the best diagnostic procedure. Treatment depends on tumor site, size and number. Transurethral resection of the tumor, urethrectomy, arterial embolization, radiotherapy or ablation with Nd:YAG laser can be utilized.
