The authors report a case of primary clear cell cancer of the urethra in a woman presenting with acute urinary retention. The diagnosis was based on cystoscopy and confirmed by histological examination of urethral biopsies. Treatment consisted of urethrocystectomy with creation of an "Indiana pouch". The pathological stage was T3N2M0 [1]. Three months postoperatively, the patient presented with inguinal lymph node metastases. She was treated with 3 courses of chemotherapy (mitomycin and 5-fluorouracil) combined with radiotherapy. With a follow-up of 10 months, the patient is still alive and inguinal lymph nodes have regressed. This case report emphasizes the rarity of this histological type and describes the management of urinary retention in a woman when an underlying specific disease is suspected.
