title: Clear cell adenocarcinoma in a female urethral diverticulum.
abstract: Primary urethral carcinoma is an uncommon diagnosis, and carcinomas arising from within a urethral diverticulum are rare. Because of the limited number of diagnosed cases, optimal treatment guidelines are not available. However, patients require an aggressive treatment approach to provide the best chance for cure.
