Giant urethral caruncle presenting as genital prolapse.

INTRODUCTION Urethral caruncles usually arise from the posterior lip of the urethral meatus. Although the etiology of urethral caruncles is still undetermined, they are the most common benign tumors of the female urethra. Most cases are frequently asymptomatic, but, sometimes patients feel a lump or bleeding at the urethral meatus. Symptoms are dysuria, dyspareunia, hematuria and rarely asensation of pressure in the perineal region. In this report we present a case of urethral caruncle mimicking a genital prolapse.
