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.

A 58-year-old woman who underwent surgery for breast cancer experienced recurrence in the ipsilateral breast during follow-up after postoperative radiotherapy and was scheduled for additional mastectomy. An 81-year-old man was found to have bilateral lung cancer during follow-up after coronary artery bypass grafting. Both patients underwent diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background suppression (DWIBS) for whole-body cancer screening, which led to incidental detection of bladder cancer that was adequately treated. In both cases, the lesions were unlikely to have been detected using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). This suggested that DWIBS might be more useful than PET/CT for whole-body cancer screening.
