Abstract

Introduction: Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the female urethra is a highly uncommon malignancy. Case report: A 78-year-old woman presents with urethrorrhagia and dysuria. Clinical examination revealed a protruding mass at the urethral meatus, accompanied by bilateral inguinal adenopathies. Imaging studies confirmed the presence of a 2.2 cm mass and widespread adenopathies. Treatment involved surgical removal and adjuvant systemic chemotherapy with a favorable six-month follow-up outcome. Conclusion: Our case report aims to raise awareness of this rare disease. Early diagnosis and treatment may improve the patient survival.
