A rare case of a clear cell carcinoma in a female urethral diverticulum

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Urethral clear cell carcinoma is rare and often arises from a urethral diverticulum and rarely from the Müllerian duct. However, an explanation for this correlation remains unknown.

Case presentation

We report the case of a 46‐year‐old woman who presented with hypermenorrhea. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a papillary tumor in a cystic lesion in the dorsal urethra. We performed a robot‐assisted radical cystourethrectomy and created an ileal conduit. Since pathological findings revealed microvascular and lymphovascular invasions around the urethra, adjuvant radiation therapy was administered. The patient showed no signs of recurrence or metastasis after treatment.

Conclusion

We report a case of clear cell carcinoma in a female urethral diverticul
