A bstract Two cases of an extremely rare tumor, the primary transitional‐cell carcinoma of the male prostatic urethra, are presented. The diagnostic problems of the 2 cases are emphasized in relation to a special group of elderly long‐term patients in a hospital for chronic diseases. In addition, one of the patients had two primary carcinomas and mixed widespread metastases. It is the first such case. This report of the 2 cases and the discussion of their pathologic aspects may help in the diagnosis of other primary urethral tumors in an early stage.
