Abstract
-
Urethral carcinomas represent a rare and challenging subset of genitourinary malignancies. Treatments are variable from a radical operation to only radiotherapy, depending upon the size, extent and location of the lesion. Despite of the various treatments, the prognosis for urethral carcinoma is poor. We report a case of a 41-year-old woman with squamous cell carcinoma which occurred concomitantly in the urethra and vulva.
