Abstract
Carcinoma of the male urethra is generally considered a rare disease. In 1907 Preiswerk1 reported two cases and made a careful review of the literature, which at that time contained reports of forty cases, to which he added his two. Since 1907 isolated case reports have been published, but, as far as I am aware, no extensive review of the literature has appeared.
