Urethral Large Hemangioma in a Prepubertal Female Patient – A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Hemangiomas rarely occur in the urethra, and most reported cases have involved in men and elderly women^1-4. The clinical manifestations of urethral hemangiomas include lower urinary tract symptoms, dysuria, hematuria, perineal discomfort, and urethral discharge. There are only a few cases reported in the literature and exact incidence is still not known.^1-5 A few case reports and occasional series have described posterior urethral hemangioma presenting as hematuria. We are reporting a rare case of a cavernous hemangioma of the anterior urethra in a prepubertal female who presented in the gynae OPD with bleeding per vagina.
