The probability of the squamous cell carcinoma of the male bulbomembranous urethra is rare. The patients generally diagnosed as urethral stenosis. It has a high stage because of the late symptoms and diagnosis. Monotherapy and multimodal treatments have been considered. Currently, the standard therapy has not been decided yet.
