Polypoid intestinal metaplasia of the external urethral meatus.

A 33-year-old male patient presented with a 1.5-cm polypoid lesion at the edge of the urethral meatus that showed a gross appearance similar to that of a urethral caruncle in the female. The histological features revealed a superficially ulcerated lesion composed of colonic-type mucosal glands with focal regenerative atypia. This case appears to be the first reported one on an intestinal-type polyp in this site. The patient had no further problems after excisional biopsy.
