UNUSUAL PRESENTATION OF URETHRAL CARUNCLE IN A 2 YEAR OLD CHILD: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
The most common lesion of the female urethra, are urethral caruncles. They are benign fleshy outgrowths at the urethral meatus occurring primarily in postmenopausal women, though occasionally found in premenopausal women and prepubertal girls. Miss FA was brought by her mother to the gynaecological emergency unit of our hospital on the 8th July, 2012 with 1 week history of a lump protruding through the vagina associated with recurrent vaginal bleeding. Examination under general anaesthesia revealed a sessile circumscribed mass protruding through the urethra. She had excision and electrocautery of this mass and histology confirmed urethral caruncle. We present a case of an unusual presentation of this condition in our environment. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is essential to avoid potential complications.
