A Rare Case of Gaint Penile Urethral Calculus

Urethral stones are commonly associated with urinary tract calculi and underlying diverticulum or stricture urethra. Urethral stones, however, are rare and account for only 0.3 to 2 % of all urinary tract stones. The present case concerns a 55years male patient who presented to our OPD with complaints of pain in the penis and burning micturition since 1 week. Patient had features of prostatism since 5 months. On examination, whitish discharge was noted from external urethral orifice. Careful palpation of penile region reveals a tender, hard mass of size 3.0x1.0 c. m close to the urethral meatus. Passage of metallic probe per-urethrally confirmed the suspicion of a calculus in urethra. Calculus was removed under local anaesthesia by performing meatotomy and the calculus was the gently detached and removed.
