The literature is reviewed and the data are compiled on the 12 known cases. Although the numbers are few and any conclusions are tentative our analysis indicates that when the tumor appears localized to the diverticulum, local excision alone is adequate and vigilant surveillance for any recurrences should be pursued. © 1981 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byRajan N, Tucci P, Mallouh C and Choudhury M (2018) Carcinoma in Female Urethral Diverticulum: Case Reports and Review of ManagementJournal of Urology, VOL. 150, NO. 6, (1911-1914), Online publication date: 1-Dec-1993.Baert L, Willemen P and Oyen R (2018) Endovaginal Sonography: New Diagnostic Approach for Urethral DiverticulaJournal of Urology, VOL. 147, NO. 2, (464-466), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1992.Spencer W and Streem S (2018) Diverticulum of the Female Urethral Roof Managed EndoscopicallyJournal of Urology, VOL. 138, NO. 1, (147-148), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1987.Srinivas V and Dow D (2018) Transitional Cell Carcinoma in a Urethral Diverticulum with a CalculusJournal of Urology, VOL. 129, NO. 2, (372-373), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1983.
