Primary Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma of the Female Urethra: A Case Report of a Rare Disease.
Doctors found a very rare type of cancer in a woman's urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). This cancer, called clear cell adenocarcinoma, is so uncommon that only a few cases have ever been reported. The article describes how doctors used special imaging scans (MRI and PET/CT) to find and diagnose this cancer.
