Three female patients (mean age 55) with carcinoma of the urethra were treated with combined external beam irradiation (4,000 to 5,000 rads) and interstitial irradiation with iridium Ir 192 (2,700 to 3,000 rads) applied with a modified Syed-Neblett template. Two patients are alive with no evidence of disease at 27 and 37 months. One patient died of a second primary tumor at 30 months, without histologic evidence of the original urethral neoplasm. No patient had significant complications of therapy. This treatment regimen is effective for selected women with urethral carcinoma.
Primary malignant urethral neoplasms are unusual in women. Those of mixed histologic type are so rare as to define adequate documentation. We report the case of an elderly black woman with an urethral carcinoma which had features of a transitional cell carcinoma as well as clear cell adenocarcinoma. The histologic and ultrastructural features are presented and the histogenesis is discussed. Although the patient had both high grade and high stage disease and failed initially after external beam radiation therapy, she is alive and well, without evidence of recurrent disease, 19 months after anterior exenteration.

The multicentric potential of urothelial malignancy is well recognized, and the occurrence of urethral neoplasm after cystectomy is attributed to this characteristic of urothelial tumors. Eight instances of tumors in the glandular urethral remnant after subtotal urethrectomy illustrate the necessity of excising the fossa navicularis and urethral meatus when performing urethrectomy.
Transitional cell carcinoma of the urethra in men after radical cystectomy for bladder carcinoma have an incidence which varies from 4 to 18%. The Authors present their experience of 6 cases (6/196; 3.06%) analysing the characteristics of the urethral neoplasm and confirming the systematic cystourethrectomy when there is a urethra prostatic and bladder neck infiltration or when there is a urethral ca in situ. It also underlines the role of the clinical, radiological, cytological and urethro-endoscopical follow-up in patients who have undergone a cystoprostatovesciculectomy.
A nippled ureteroileal anastomosis was performed in 37 patients. Follow-up examination showed reflux to be absent in most patients. Ureteroileal stenosis developed in 1 patient, and this was the only patient in the series who had a clinical attack of pyelonephritis.

The authors report their early experience with ND-YAG laser in 55 patients treated for superficial bladder or urethral tumors and for urethral stenosis. The advantage of the technique (local anesthesia, shorter hospitalization) and the disadvantages (cost, duration, unsatisfactory results in urethral stenoses) are discussed.

A urethral filling defect in the proximal portion of the pelvic urethra, suggestive of a mass, was detected by positive-contrast retrograde urethrography in 2 dogs with prostatic disease and Sertoli cell neoplasms. Extension of prostatic neoplasia into the urethra or primary urethral neoplasia were considered as explanations for the radiographic finding of an intraluminal filling defect in the pelvic urethra. Masses were visualized and biopsied during prostatic surgery. Masses were nonneoplastic and represented enlargement of the colliculus seminalis.
