Abstract
- Urethral diverticulum is a relatively uncommon abnormality for a man. We report here on a case of acquired anterior urethral diverticulum with giant calculi and cutaneous fistula in a 64-years old male patient who had suffered from urethritis 10 years previously. Retrograde urethrography and urethroscopy confirmed the anterior urethral diverticulum with giant calculi, and these procedures ruled out the presence of any associated obstructive urethral anomalies. We performed urethral diverticulectomy, with removal of the calculi, and then we performed urethroplasty.
