This is a case report of a 67-year-old woman who had a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the urethra: she died 3 years after the clinical symptoms started owing to progression of the tumor. The tumor developed from a glandular metaplasia, which has to be regarded as a premalignant lesion. Problems of the diagnosis, including the differential diagnosis, are discussed.
