Primary XXXX of the female urethra.

@entity1 @entity3329 @entity3833 @entity706
BACKGROUND: @entity706 rarely affects the genitourinary tract. We present a case of @entity706 of the female urethra and review the associated literature to evaluate the management and prognosis. MATERIALS AND RESULTS: A 69-year-old @entity1 presented with a 3-month history of @entity3833 and a red mass at the external urethra without @entity3329 . Pathological examination revealed @entity706 . She was treated with excision of the mass and chemotherapy. Six months later she showed no urethral or other recurrence. An additional 17 cases similar to this one were found in the literature. The one-year survival rate was 91% for local stage and less than 35% for disseminated stage. A significant difference was observed between survival rates (log rank test; p = 0.013). CONCLUSION: It appears that therapy including excision, radiation and chemotherapy is effective for @entity1 with local stage but not for @entity1 with disseminated stage.
