[The clinical picture and pathology of benign tumors of the female urethra].

Benign neoplasia of urethra are of frequent by aged women. Epithelial tumours (polyps, papilloms) are distinguished from mesenchymal tumours (fibroms, myoms, angioms) histologically. Dislocations of the mucosa and real malignoms of the urethra are marked off from these. The authors report about the rarity of mesenchymal neoplasia and represent a case by which it comes to retention of urine because of a big leiomyoma. Diagnosis and therapy are described in detail.
