Abstract

The urethral caruncle is the most frequent benign tumor in postmenopausal women due to their low levels of estrogen. The main differential diagnosis is the urethral carcinoma, which is why a clinical case of a patient with a urethral caruncle is presented. The clinical and radiological characteristics are reviewed to ensure an appropriate patient approach, treatment, and histopathological correlation.
