Résumé

Le carcinome urothélial de l’urètre masculin est une tumeur exceptionnelle. Nous rapportons une nouvelle observation de carcinome urothélial de l’urètre chez un homme de 64 ans qui avait consulté pour une dysurie. L’urétrocystographie rétrograde et mictionnelle (UCRM) réalisée avait mis en évidence des images de rétrécissement de l’urètre bulbopénien traité par urétroplastie. L’examen histologique de la pièce d’urétrectomie a révélé un carcinome urothélial de l’urètre. Le patient refusa tout traitement complémentaire et survécut 14 mois après le diagnostic.

Abstract

Urothelial carcinoma of the male urethra is a rare tumour. We report a new case of urothelial carcinoma of the urethra in a 64-year old man who was examined due to a dysuria. Retrograde and voiding urethrocystography carried out had shown images of bulbopenile urethral stricture treated by urethroplasty. Histological examination of the urethrectomy part revealed a urothelial carcinoma of the urethra. The patient refused any additional treatment and survived 14 months after diagnosis.
