Abstract
Twenty-three cases of primary carcinoma of the male urethra were reviewed and the clinical findings, treatment and results were compared to experiences previously reported. Patients with lesions of the pendulous urethra managed by appropriate amputation of the penis with ilioinguinal node dissection for groin metastases had a good prognosis, whereas patients with lesions of the bulbomembranous or prostatic urethra had a poor prognosis. Despite occasional successful results with conservative surgical excision and overall poor results with radical excision, the extensive nature of such tumors necessarily makes radical excision the treatment of choice.
