title: [Urethral cancer in African women].
abstract: Urethral carcinoma is a rare tumour. The authors report the first three cases diagnosed in black African woman. The diagnosis is difficult but can be much more seen if frequently through of. Urethral smear for cytology and histology are essentials elements in the diagnosis. Surgical treatment of this tumour is cheap and quite accessible, hence the need for early diagnosis. The prognosis is poor even with combined surgical and radiotherapy.
