Abstract
- Fibromas of the urethra are extremely rare. We experienced a case of fibroma in the female urethra recently. 48-year-old female patient was admitted to the Department of Urology of Seoul National University Hospital due to a protruded mass on external urethral meatus. The mass was removed surgically and confirmed as a fibroma pathologically. It was a huge mass, 17 X 9 X 7 cm in size, irregularly lobulated, firm and well encapsulated. Histologically it was composed of loosely textiled spindle cells of fibroblastic origin with myxoid changes.
