Urethral diverticulum is rarely encountered in male patients. Although postmicturition dribble, pain and infection are usually present, infertility is rarely reported in urethral diverticulum. We present a case with urethral diverticulum associated with infertility, which was diagnosed radiologically.

Urethral diverticula are a rare entity. Carcinoma in a urethral diverticulum is a particularly unusual finding with only a little over 200 cases in the reported literature. Adenocarcinoma is the most common carcinoma to occur in a urethral diverticulum. To our knowledge, there are only a handful of cases of signet ring cell adenocarcimona of the urethra and no cases of signet ring adenocarcinom...

Background: Female urethral diverticulum is a condition which is often overlooked and frequently misdiagnosed. It is hoped that as a result of greater awareness of female urethral diverticulum more timely diagnosis of the condition would be made which would result in early appropriate treatment. Objective: The objective of this review is to summarize the presentation, investigation and manageme...

We report herein a patient with a urethral calculus associated with urethral diverticulum. A 39-year-old man presented with scrotal swelling and acute retention of urine. Computed tomography of the pelvis and cystoscopy demonstrated a giant calculus in the proximal penile urethra. Emergency in-situ lithotripsy was performed. Complete stone clearance was achieved and a large urethral diverticulu...

INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of urethral diverticulum can be challenging given the vague or absent presenting symptoms. In addition, vaginal cancer can present with elusive symptoms--some parallel to urethral diverticula. A case of a bleeding ulcerated mass anticipated to be a vaginal cancer was instead identified as a benign urethral diverticulum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ...

PURPOSE We present the management of 17 cases of urethral diverticulum in our department. We describe the various clinical presentations of urethral diverticulum, which may mimic other pelvic floor disorders and result in diagnostic delay. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed 17 cases of urethral diverticulum presented to the urogynaecology department between January 2006 and February 2011 retro...

Case Report Urethral diverticulum occurs in approximately 0.5-6% of women. Stone formation occurs in 1.5-10% of women with urethral diverticulum. Primary (native) urethral calculi occur rarely. In this case, 47 year-old woman suffering from recurrent urinary infections for the last 2 years referred to our clinic. Physical examination was normal except for a solid mass, measuring 3x3 cm in size,...

Congenital diverticulum of male urethra is an uncommon entity. Neglected management complicates the process in the form of calculi formation and recurrent urinary infection. A 10-year-old boy presented with urinary voiding disturbances and development of a painless hard lump at the penoscrotal junction. Imaging demonstrated presence of anterior urethral diverticulum with contained calculi in it...

INTRODUCTION The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is about 20% in men aged 40 or above. Other than benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urethral diverticulum or calculus is not uncommon for LUTS in men. Surgical treatment is often recommended for urethral diverticulum or calculus, but treatment for an impacted urethral calculus complicated by a stone-containing diverticulum is c...

Female urethral diverticulum is a rare entity with diverse spectrum of clinical manifestations. It is a very rare cause of bladder outlet obstruction and should be considered as a differential diagnosis in females presenting with acute urinary retention associated with a vaginal mass. Strong clinical suspicion combined with thorough physical examination and focused radiological investigations a...
