“…It is believed to be congenital, arising from embryonic remnants of unipotent angioblastic cells that develop into abnormal blood vessels. [3] Hemangiomas are commonly present in the skin and liver, but are rare in the urinary tract. Urethral hemangiomas are more common in men and are very rarely reported in women.…”

Rationale:Urethral hemangiomas commonly occur in men or elderly women. We presented a rare case of urethral hemangioma in a prepubertal female patient.Patients concerns:An 8-year-old girl had the complaints of bloody staining of clothing, a foul perineal odor, and urethral pain. She was brought to our genitourinary outpatient department for survey and a single, 1-cm compressible reddish nodule at the 10-2 o’clock position in the distal urethra was found.Diagnoses:Urethral hemangioma in a prepubertal girl was diagnosed after excision of the urethral nodule.Interventions:Excision with 8 “stay” sutures in the protruding urethral mucosa was performed.Outcomes:Normal micturition without symptom recurrence was noted at the 3-month follow-up.Lessons:Urethral hemangioma is also found in prepubertal female patient. Increased physician awareness and early recognition of a urethral hemangioma can avoid unnecessary examinations and patient anxiety. The procedure of excision with 8 “stay” sutures in the protruding urethral mucosa facilitates mobilization from the distal urethra and provides a good surgical view of abnormal proliferative blood vessels. Therefore, the lesion can be removed as clean as possible.

“…Haemangiomas of the urethra are believed to arise from embryonic remnants of angioblastic cells that failed to develop into normal blood vessels [21]. Urethral haemangiomas occur much more commonly in males, with haematuria and/or haematospermia being the presenting symptoms [22, 23].…”

“…Urethral haemangiomas occur much more commonly in males, with haematuria and/or haematospermia being the presenting symptoms [22, 23]. At MRI, high T2WI signal similar to the characteristic appearance of a hepatic haemangioma has been reported [21]. Ultimately, cystourethroscopy and biopsy are required for diagnosis [21–23].…”

Magnetic resonance imaging of solid urethral and peri-urethral lesions

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Solid urethral and peri-urethral lesions are rare and encompass benign and malignant aetiologies. A diagnosis without imaging is often challenging secondary to non-specific clinical symptoms and overlapping findings at the time of physical examination. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging may be helpful in confirming a diagnosis while providing anatomical detail and delineating disease extent. This article reviews the normal MR anatomy of the male and female urethra, the MR appearance of solid primary and secondary urethral lesions, and the MR appearance of solid urethral lesion mimics.Teaching points• MRI is an important imaging technique in the evaluation of the spectrum of solid urethral lesions.• With excellent soft tissue resolution, MR is accurate in staging primary urethral carcinoma.• Disruption of the zonal anatomy of the female urethral wall indicates peri-urethral extension.• Be aware of benign urethral lesions, particularly those that may mimic solid urethral masses.

“…Urethral hemangiomas are mostly reported men. Female urethra is rarely affected [ 2 , 3 ]. In this presentation we reported a cavernous hemangioma of the urethra in a female patient who suffered dyspareunia and intermitant hematuria.…”
