A Case of a Giant Prostatic Calculus with Bladder Stones / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Microscopic prostatic calculi are not uncommon in late adult life. But a giant prostatic calculus is a rare finding. No symptoms are pathognomic of calculus disease of the prostate gland. The diagnosis is usually established by rectal palpation of the prostate gland, urethroscopic examination, and roentgenographic or ultrasonic study. Usually, no treatment is indicated for patients with asymptomatic prostatic calculi. In patients with significant symptoms, a transurethral or suprapubic prostatectomy may be contemplated. We report a case of a giant prostatic calculus with bladder stones in a 60-year-old male who was treated endoscopically.
