Abstract:
We report a case of female urethral cancer. A 67-year-old female complained of a pain in the left buttocks. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a urethral tumor, which invaded the bladder wall and left buttocks tissue. Transurethral resection was performed. Histopathological examinations revealed squamous cell carcinoma of the urethra. The case was diagnosed as stage D4 urethral cancer according to the Grabstald's classification. Radiotherapies with a total dose of 57.5 Gy were performed on the primary and invaded sites. However, she died 6 months after the radiotherapy.
