Giant prostatic urethral stones in a young patient

Abstract

Giant prostatic urethral stones have been reported as a very rare entity, and the etiology of these stones is not clear. Here we report a case of a 44-year-old man with giant multiple prostatic urethral stones presented with voiding difficulty and recurrent urinary tract infections. A big stone in the right cavity was observed endoscopically, some of them protruding into the urethra, and two other big stones in the left cavity were observed after resection of the surface tissue on the stones on the prostate. Following cystoscopy, giant prostatic stones were removed endoscopically after holmium-YAG laser lithotripsy.
