[Benign neoplasms of the urethra in men].
A 20-year follow-up (1975-1994) in urological clinic of 107 males with benign tumors of the urethra (BTU) has determined that most commonly encountered BTU comprise viral papillomas (67.3%), polyps (22.4%), angiomas (10.3%). Viral papillomas and angiomas locate as a rule in the hanging urethra, while polyps arise both in the anterior and posterior portions. Urethral polyps and angiomas manifest most frequently with hemospermia, urethrorrhagia and terminal macrohematuria after coitus or exertion. Chronic nonspecific urethritis is thought to be a factor predisposing to urethral condylomas and polyps. Viral papillomas originate from the external orifice and Morgagni fossa spreading proximally. BTU are diagnosed primarily at urethroscopy and managed with transurethral resection, electrocoagulation, partial urethral resection which proved curative in many cases.
