Urethral caruncle with intestinal metaplasia: A case report and literature review

A 66-year-old female presented with a urethral caruncle. Histological features of incomplete intestinal metaplasia were reported. Only five previous cases of intestinal metaplasia in urethral caruncles have been reported. The mechanism of this tissue transformation remains unclear but theorised aeti...

description A 66-year-old female presented with a urethral caruncle. Histological features of incomplete intestinal metaplasia were reported. Only five previous cases of intestinal metaplasia in urethral caruncles have been reported. The mechanism of this tissue transformation remains unclear but theorised aetiologies include embryological and infective causes. Intestinal metaplasia carries a malignant potential in other organs, most notably the bladder. Therefore we recommend urethral caruncles be completely excised with prolonged follow up for atypical variants.
