title: [Female idiopathic urethra tumor: clinical features diagnosis and treatment].
abstract: Female idiopathic urethra tumors are reported rarely. We treated fourteen patients patients, and described the clinical manifestations and local features of the tumors, urethra liomyoma, and fibropolypus. We found that there are close relations among tumor stage, prognosis and pathological classification. The main diagnostic methods include vaginal touch, urethroscopy, B-ultrasound exam and biopsy. The diagnostic procedure recommended is tumor location-quality-stage or a three-step method. The main treatment is operation, however, the operative mode should depend on tumor stage and patient's life quality after operation.
