title: Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urethra: 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging.
abstract: Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urethra is a rare and aggressive tumor of female gender preponderance. This neoplasm, the origin of which is still widely debated, has been reported with CT and MRI in case reports and small series. To the previously published conventional cross-sectional imaging description, the authors add the PET/CT features of this uncommon urologic neoplasm at its advanced stage in a 60-year-old patient complaining of urinary retention.
