Hemangioma uretral: una causa poco frecuente de síntomas molestos en el tracto urinario inferior

Richard Richmond, Jesmond Xuereb, Elsawi M Osman

Urethral haemangiomas are rare entities with around 100 cases reported. The clinical features of this entity may be identical to those of benign prostatic enlargement. In this article, we present a case of a male in his sixties who presented with urinary symptoms refractory to medical management for presumed benign prostatic enlargement. Subsequent cystoscopy revealed a 20 mm urethral mass that was resected and found to be a urethral cavernous haemangioma. The patient’s symptoms resolved following the excision.
