Abstract

A 56-year-old female smoker presented after long diagnostic delay with high-grade transitional cell carcinoma in situ within a urethral diverticulum. This is the third report of this type in the literature. Preoperative investigations, including urine cytology and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were not helpful.
