Primary urethral transitional cell carcinoma presenting as a urethral caruncle.
Primary urethral neoplasm is an uncommon diagnosis, and carcinomas arising from urethral caruncle are rare. Optimal treatment guidelines are not available because of the limited number of diagnosed cases. However, an aggressive treatment approach is needed to provide the best chance of cure.
