title: Malignant anterior urethral strictures: a rare complication of transurethral resection of malignant prostate.
abstract: A 65-year old male presented with obstructive voiding symptoms and recurrent hematuria following transurethral resection of malignant prostates. Following an unsuccessful attempt at catheterization, urethroscopy revealed narrowing of anterior urethra secondary to multiple nodular lesions. Biopsy of lesion showed adenocarcinoma positive for prostate specific antigen. This rare presentation has been reported only twice in past.
