Overview

Urethral cancer must be differentiated from bladder cancer, cervical cancer, bladder stones, ureteral stones, cystitis, neurogenic bladder, and urethritis.

Differentiation

Urethral cancer must be differentiated from other diseases that cause lower urinary tract irritation symptoms (e.g., dysuria, urgency and frequency in addition to urethral discharge); these include Bladder cancer, Cervical cancer, urethritis, Bladder stones, cystitis, urethrolithiasis, Neurogenic bladder, cervicitis, vulvovaginitis, and epididymitis.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]

The following table summarizes the differential diagnosis for Urethral cancer:

Diseases	Hematuria	Pyuria	Frequency	Urgency	Dysuria	Weak urine stream	Fever	Tenderness	Discharge	Inguinal Lymphadenopathy	Urinalysis	Urine Culture	Gold Standard	Past medical history	Other Findings
Diseases	Symptoms						Physical Examination				Diagnostic tests			Past medical history	Other Findings
Urethral Cancer						+

Urethritis	–	+	–	–	+		+	–	Urethral discharge	+	Positive leukocyte esterase test or >10 WBCs Mucous threads in the morning urine	–	Gram stain & mucoid or purulent discharge	Prior STDs Urinary tract infections New sexual partner Recent intercourse Recent catheterization	Purulent discharge may suggest gonorrhoea Exclusive dysuria suggest Chlamydia Painful genital ulcers with dysuria suggest HSV
Cystitis	+	+	+	+	+		+	Suprapubic	–	+	Nitrite +ve Leukocyte esterase +ve WBCs RBCs	>100,000CFU/mL	Urine culture	Recent catheterisation Pregnancy Recent intercourse Diabetes Personal or family history of UTI Known abnormality of the urinary tract BPH HIV	Imaging studies help differentiate the various types May accompany back pain, nausea, vomiting, and chills

Vulvovagintis	–	–	–	–	+		+	–	Vaginal discharge	+	–	–	Gram stain & culture of discharge	Number and type of sexual partners (new, casual, or regular) Prior STDs Previous history of symptomatic BV in female partner (in homosexual women)	Fishy odor from the vagina (Whiff test) Thin, white/gray homogeneous vaginal discharge Microscopy (wet prep) and vaginal pH Clue cells
Cervicitis	–	+	–	–	+		+	Cervical	Endocervical exudate	–	–	–	Culture for gonococcal cervicitis	Abnormal vaginal bleeding after intercourse or after menopause Abnormal vaginal discharge Painful sexual intercourse Pressure or heaviness in the pelvis	Purulent or mucopurulent endocervical exudate Sustained endocervical bleeding easily induced by a cotton swab >10 WBC in vaginal fluid, in the absence of trichomoniasis, may indicate endocervical inflammation caused specifically by C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhea
Epididymitis	+	–	+	+	+		+	Testicular & suprapubic	+/– urethral discharge	+	Hematuria may be seen	+	Culture	Unilateral, gradual, and localized scrotal pain posterior to the testis Scrotal swelling Scrotal wall erythema Constitutional symptoms: feeling warm, chills, nausea and vomiting	Ultrasound in patients with acute testicular pain to assess for testicular torsion If equivocal do surgical exploration
