title: [Primary urothelial carcinoma of the urethra. Apropos of a case].
abstract: We report an unusual case of primary transitional cell carcinoma in the bulbar urethra. The patient was a 52-year-old man with a history of sexually transmitted disease. The clinical presentation was bladder retention with urethral bleeding. Radiological examination and cystoscopy showed a bulbar urethral tumor. The pathological diagnosis was Grade III transitional cell carcinoma with invasion of the corpus spongiosum (T2). Partial resection of the urethra was performed and the patient has been without evidence of disease for two years.
