Case Report: A rare case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the female urethra

Background: Urethral adenocarcinoma is a very uncommon problem in women, with prevalence of 0.02%. Due to the disease's rarity, there little information available about it. Treatment for cancer can have significant negative influence on patient's condition. Mucinous adenocarcinomas are type that poorly studied. These cancers almost invariably worse outcome compared conventional adenocarcinomas. Case Presentation: A 67 year old woman presented hematuria and stranguria. A computerised tomography (CT) scan this patient revealed an urethral tumor. In her histopathologic report we found tumor cells were arranged small clusters single scattered among extracellular mucin signet ring cell picture, which consistent mucionous adenocarcinoma. We then performed partial urethrectomy surgical resection, but reappeared 18 months later no symptoms. The decided undergo radiotherapy 33 sessions. From recent MRI follow up remains recurrence free. Conclusions: Early treatment or without adjuvant appears be best option cases small, organ-confined disease mucinous Partial cases, prevent use permanent urinary catheters further improve quality life.
