Abstract
- A primary malignant melanoma occurring within the male urethra is a very rare disease, which usually shows highly malignant potential. Due to the low incidence, the clinical features of this disease remain unclear, and the mode of treatment controversial. Herein, we report a case of a malignant melanoma of the male urethra in a 77 year old man, who was managed by transurethral resection, and has remained uneventful for a 6 month follow-up period.
