Urethral diverticulum is a rare pathology in male patients. It is most often encountered in patients with paraplegia due to iterative catheterizations. The diagnosis of a large diverticulum is easy to make when faced with clinical symptoms, such as: repeated urinary tract infections, perineal pain and especially when there is penile swelling. We report the case of a 24-year-old patient with par...

A 49-year-old female was followed up at the gynecology clinic after conization for cervical cancer and underwent routine cervical smear, which revealed a cluster of adenocarcinoma cells. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) showed increased FDG uptake around the proximal urethra. Urethroscopy showed a tumor arising from the urethral diverticulum, and it was revealed to be c...

A case of congenital urethral diverticulum is reported. A 6-month-old male was admitted with difficulty to urinate and swelling of the base of penile shaft. Anterior urethral diverticulum was demonstrated by means of retrograde urethrography. A diverticulectomy combined with cystostomy was performed under the general anesthesia.

Male urethral diverticula are rare and can be congenital or acquired. We report a case of acquired urethral diverticulum presenting as a scrotal mass in a paraplegic male. On physical examination, the scrotal mass mimicked a primary intrascrotal lesion. However, on retrograde urethrography, the correct diagnosis was made. The patient had a small incontinent spastic bladder with a history of pro...

Congenital anterior urethral diverticulum (CAUD) is an uncommon condition in children. They usually present with penile swelling followed by recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) and poor urinary stream.[1] It is a cause of lower urinary tract obstruction in males. We present a case of congenital anterior urethral diverticulum that presented with penile mass and UTI, treated successfully by o...

OBJECTIVES The most recognized complications after urethral diverticulum repair are urethrovaginal fistula, diverticula recurrence, and de novo urinary incontinence. Our objective was to determine the rate of de novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after urethral diverticulum repair. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of female patients who underwent urethral diverticulum repair wi...

hairball in a urethral diverticulum has rarely been reported. these hairballs are usually formed in the diverticulum coated with a hair bearing epithelium and can lead to urinary obstruction or infection. using laser is a safe way to ablate such stones.

Urethral diverticula with calculi have a low incidence as reported in the literature. Diverticulum of female urethra is rare, often discovered due to associated complications. We report a case of diverticulum of the female urethra containing giant calculi in a 62-year-old multiparous woman. She consulted with our office due to dysuria and a hard, painful periurethral mass in the anterior vagina...

INTRODUCTION We present a case of Alkaptonuria (AKU) presented with severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to extensive prostatic calculi deposited in the para prostatic diverticulum. Prostatic calculi are seen in chronic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome and benign prostate hyperplasia; however, in patients with AKU, prostatic calculi and/or calcifications are more extens...
