Abstract
Urethral caruncles of the vascular type tend toward recurrence and when they do recur, may reappear as hemangiomatous tumors which are difficult to eradicate and are locally malignant.The presence of chronic infections or caruncles seems to be the precursor of urethral neoplasms.Early diagnosis of carcinoma of the urethra is of the greatest importance because otherwise operative treatment is extremely unsatis-factory.Radical surgery followed by adequate plastic procedure offers the only desirable treatment for carcinoma of the urethra. Radium is difficult to apply and is extremely likely to cause incurable vesico-vaginal fistula. Surgical excision, if possible, is the treatment of choice.
