We report a case of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the female urethra. A 57-year-old woman presented with complaint of gross hematuria. Abdominal ultrasonography, cystourethroscopy, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the urethral tumor was invasive to bladder neck. Clinical stage was determined as cT3N1M0, then anterior pelvic exenteration and ileal conduit formation were performed. The pathological diagnosis was clear cell adenocarcinoma of urethra and the stage was pT3N1. The patient received TS-1 and cisplatin for postoperative recurrence, but she died from multiple lung metastasis 54 months after the operation. Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the female urethra is rare case in the Japanese literatures. Pathogenesis and management of this rare condition are discussed.
Progress in the treatment of urethral adenocarcinoma.
