Abstract
The incidence of a neoplasm within the female urethral diverticulum is rare . Clear cell adenocarcinoma, which is the most common neoplasm, arises from the metaplasia of surface transitional epithelium and the paraurethral duc ts. These tumors are usually diagnosed at a late stage, which worsens their prognosis. The treatment of choice is surgery.
