Abstract
-
Primary urethral carcinoma in females is a relatively rare disease representing only 0.02% of all types of cancer in women. Primary transitional cell carcinoma of the female urethra is about 20% of all female urethral cancer. We report a case of primary transitional cell carcinoma of the female urethra treated with anterior pelvic exenteration in an 80-year-old woman.
