ABSTRACT
The bulbar urethra is the most common site of anterior urethral strictures. In this case report, we present a 30-year-old male who was referred to us as a case of mid-bulbar urethral stricture. Urethroplasty was booked and a papillary lesion was found on routine diagnostic cystoscopy. An open biopsy was taken which showed invasive high-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation. This case is rare in terms of a young age of incidence, a lack of risk factors, an absence of suspicious symptoms, and a short duration of signs and symptoms. Urologists should consider workup for malignancy even in young patients who present with an idiopathic urethral stricture and a short duration of symptoms.
