Urethral hemangioma. An unusual cause of hematuria.
Urethral hemangioma is an exceedingly rare, benign tumor which commonly presents as urethral bleeding. Urethroscopy is the best diagnostic procedure. There are various treatment modalities and appropriate therapy is individualised depending upon site, size and number of hemangiomas. We report a case of solitary urethral hemangioma present in the bulbar urethra. The patient presented with spontaneous profuse hematuria and was managed by wide excision of the hemangioma.
