The ureteral stone might be misdiagnosed in the presence of atypical symptoms. We reported a 31-year-old man with clinical signs of prostatitis, normal laboratory tests and normal ultrasonography who had been treated as acute prostatitis for several weeks but had no improvement . further assessments by intravenous pyelography revealed distal right ureteral stone. complete recovery was achieved immediately after TUL (transurethral lithotripsy).
