Abstract
Objectives: A literature review of clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) of the female urethra, which is a urinary tract neoplasm of low prevalence that can affect the urethra in rare occasions. Material and methods: A case report of CCA in a 59-year-old female with low urinary tract symptoms associated with two episodes of acute urinary retention and recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) with the finding of a periurethral tumor in magnetic resonance image (MRI). Results: After cystectomy, double adnexectomy, urethrectomy, bilateral iliac-obturator lymphadenectomy, and ureteroileal deviation, the diagnosis of urethral CCA spread to lymph nodes was made. The case was discussed in the Urologic Oncology committee, indicating external radiotherapy and cisplatin as adjuvant treatment. Conclusions: Because of its aggressiveness, CCA is a rare tumor that requires radical surgery.
