Abstract
Circular prolapse of the urethral mucosa in the elderly female is rarely reported in the literature, but is a common clinical entity. During the years 1972-1983 thirteen women with urethral prolapse were operated upon in our department, in all of whom differentiation of the benign lesion from malignancy could not be done on clinical grounds only. The following survey is meant to draw attention to the entity and its clinical implications.
