Abstract | Introduction. Female urethral adenocarcinoma is extremely rare and more than one tissue of origin has been suggested other than the Skene's gland. Immunohistochemistry with cytokeratins (CK) 7 and 20 is used to define the origin of the tumor. Case report. A 72-year-old woman presented with a 2-cm polypoid tumor at the external urethral meatus and bleeding. Wide local excision and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy were performed. Postoperative convalescence was uneventful. It was a poorly differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma without direct urothelial involvement. There were focal areas of intestinal metaplasia. The tumor cells were positive for CK 7 and 20 and negative for prostate-specific antigen. Discussion. This case provides supportive evidence that mucinous urethral adenocarcinoma may arise from malignant transformation of urethritis glandularis. (C) 2000 Academic Press. |
