Urethral squamous cell papilloma: Case report and review of literature

Abstract

Lesions around the urethral meatus in women are common. The differential diagnosis for these lesions is extensive and includes urethral caruncle, urethral prolapse, urethral diverticulum, periurethral gland abscesses and, of most concern, urethral carcinoma. Non-invasive squamous lesions of the urethra are rare and their clinical significance is uncertain. We present a case of a urethral squamous papilloma at the urethral meatus in a premenopausal woman causing significant symptoms.
