In this case report, we will discuss three cases of women diagnosed with a periurethral mass. The specific diagnosis of a periurethral mass can vary and includes rare diseases. Therefore, they provide a challenge to medical professionals. All patients underwent diagnostic evaluation with cystoscopy and pelvic MRI followed by surgical removal. Based on the MRI and pathology report, different diagnoses were made for each patient. The three diagnoses will be discussed: subpubic cartilaginous cyst, leiomyoma and clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urethra. Our case report is useful for other medical professionals, and they can evaluate how to optimal approach a periurethral mass.

Article Synopsis
- Female urethral diverticulum (UD) is a rare condition during pregnancy with no clear management guidelines, typically approached conservatively.
- A case report details a 39-year-old pregnant woman who developed a UD diagnosed via ultrasound and MRI, leading to a cesarean section due to preterm labor, with the condition persisting post-delivery.
- The study concludes that UD can occur during pregnancy, with MRI being effective for diagnosis, and recommends surgical intervention if UD remains after childbirth.
Surgical management of bladder outlet obstruction due to functional and anatomical etiologies in women.

Introduction: Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in women includes functional and anatomic etiologies. Primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO), Fowler's syndrome (FS), and dysfunctional voiding (DV) are some examples of functional obstructions, whereas pelvic organ prolapse (POP), periurethral masses, and intragenic causes are some of the anatomic causes.
Methods: This literature review describes the etiologies of female BOO, unique aspects of the workup and diagnosis, and the data for the standard surgical treatments and newer surgical techniques to treat women.
Inguinal hernia leads to worse immediate urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
J Robot Surg
January 2024
Department of Urology, Itabashi Chuo Medical Center, 2-12-7 Azusawa, Itabashi, Tokyo, 174-0051, Japan.
Objectives: Patients with inguinal hernia (IH) may have voiding dysfunction and weak urethra-stabilizing periurethral fascial tissues, contributing to urinary incontinence. This study aimed to review the association between IH and urinary continence after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Methods: This single-institution retrospective study included 251 consecutive cases of RARP between April 2019 and June 2022.
Periurethral abscess etiology, risk factors, treatment options, and outcomes: A systematic review.
Curr Urol
June 2023
Faculty of Medicine, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
Objectives: This study aimed to describe patterns of presentation, etiology, risk factors, management, and treatment outcomes of periurethral abscesses using a systematic review framework.
Materials And Methods: After prospective registration on the PROSPERO database (CRD42020193063), a systematic review of Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane scientific databases was performed. Articles published between 1900 and 2021 were considered.
Small Extracellular Vesicles Secreted by Peri-urethral Tissues Regulate Fibroblast Function and Contribute to the Pathogenesis of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence.
Curr Med Sci
August 2023
Department of Gynecology, Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310000, China.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the existence of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in peri-urethral tissues and the role of abnormal expression of sEVs in the pathogenesis of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Methods: sEVs were extracted from peri-urethral vaginal wall tissues using differential centrifugation and were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The number of sEVs and their protein contents were compared between SUI and control groups using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay.
