Urethral carcinomas are rare, and information reported in the literature is relatively limited. In this review, the authors present separate discussions on the pathology of carcinomas occurring in men and women with emphasis on the diverse histological subtypes. Because tumor type and prognosis correspond to anatomic location, normal anatomy and histology have been given due consideration. Of particular note in the recent literature is an expanded experience with clear cell carcinoma, a distinctive tumor primarily of the female urethra that has generated considerable interest with respect to its prognosis and relationship to urethral diverticulum. The authors use this review to illustrate several features of the pathology of these neoplasms synthesize the literature, and place into perspective the clinical, pathological, and prognostic features.
尿道癌较为罕见，文献报道的相关信息相对有限。在本综述中，作者分别讨论了男性和女性尿道癌的病理学，重点关注了不同的组织学亚型。由于肿瘤类型和预后与解剖位置相关，因此对正常解剖结构和组织学进行了适当考虑。近期文献中特别值得注意的是透明细胞癌的经验扩展，这是一种主要发生于女性尿道的独特肿瘤，其预后以及与尿道憩室的关系引发了相当大的关注。作者利用本综述阐述了这些肿瘤病理学的几个特征，综合了相关文献，并对临床、病理和预后特征进行了全面分析。
