Abstract:
Primary carcinoma of the urethra in women is extremely rare and most are reported to be either squamous or transitional carcinomas. Adenocarcinoma of the female urethra represents approximately 10% of primary urethral neoplasms and clear cell variant is a rare but histologically distinct tumor. We report two cases of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the female urethra.
