Abstract

A 87-year-old woman presented with vaginal blood loss. A tumor protruded through the anterior vaginal wall. Biopsy revealed transitional epithelium without atypia. In 1975 the urethra was dilated because of ischuria after a midline cystocele repair resulted in trauma. A post-traumatic transvaginal diverticulum of the urethra was diagnosed and closed.
