Abstract EN
Primary urethral carcinoma is extremely rare and is marked by a variety of clinical symptoms.
Primary carcinoma of a urethral diverticulum is still rarer and clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urethra is particularly uncommon (Swartz et al., 2006).
Such infrequency has led to inadequate management guidance in the literature for a disease that is often late in presentation and carries substantial morbidity and mortality.
This treatable but grave disease deserves definitive curative treatment.
We present the first published instance in which it was treated with robotic anterior exenteration.
In our case, a 47-year-old female was referred to the urology service for investigation of recurring urinary tract infections.
During the workup, the patient was found to have an advanced clear cell urethral adenocarcinoma originating in a urethral diverticulum.
We discuss the natural history of this condition, its consequences, and the first instance of its treatment using robotic anterior pelvic exenteration.
