SUMMARY1 The incidence of primary carcinoma of the urethra with a review of the literature is mentioned. 2 The ætiology of primary carcinoma of the female urethra with special reference to the lesion of urethral caruncle is discussed. 3 A case of early malignancy in a urethral caruncle is reported. 4 The therapy used is described and twenty months' follow‐up is given. 5 A plea for conservative therapy in the very early case is made, as opposed to extensive surgery. 6 The importance of examining, microscopically, all urethral caruncles, polypi, and hypertrophic mucosae that are removed is stressed.
