Giant Urethral Calculus without Acute Urinary Retention

J Coll Physicians Surg Pak. 2018 Mar;28(3):S69-S70. doi: 10.29271/jcpsp.2018.03.S69.

Abstract

A 46-year gentleman presented with a left-sided lumbar region pain without fever or dysuria. He denied episodes of acute urinary retention. There was a hard mass at the distal urethra with normal laboratory blood tests. Computed tomography urogram revealed a concurrent left renal staghorn calculus and large distal urethral stone. The urethral stone was fragmented via endourologic technique successfully. We report a case of a non-obstructing large urethral calculus in a gentleman with concurrent left renal staghorn calculus and discuss the literature review.
