Abstract

Urethral metastases originating from the colon are extremely rare. We report a case of a 67-year-old man who presented with difficult urination and hematuria. Diagnostic cystoscopy showed an abnormal, exophytic lesion in his proximal penile urethra a bulbar urethra. His pathology was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma consistent with colon metastasis.
