Abstract

Primary carcinoma of the female urethra is relatively rare neoplasm. Urethral cancers account for less than 0.02 per cent of all neoplasms occurring In women and 0.01 per cent of all urologic malignancies. The rarity of the disease as well as the changes and improvements in the various treatment modalities have prevented unanimity of opinion with regard to its proper treatment. We report one case of transitional cell carcinoma in female urethra with brief review of the literature.
