Abstract
Prostatic urethral giant calculus is extremely unusual. A 37-year-old man was diagnosed with a giant prostatic urethral calculus; he underwent suprapubic cystotomy and the calculus was removed through a bladder neck incision. Recurrence of prostatic calculus was noted 2 years later. Urethroscopy screening was performed and revealed a giant calculus located partially in a prostatic diverticulum. Complete endoscopic removal was not feasible and calculus was extracted entirely via cystotomy through bladder neck. The calculus was calcium phosphates in composition.
