Symptomatic multiple prostatic calculi: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Prostatic calculi are often found incidentally during a clinical and radiological examination. However, in some instances, large or multiple calculi may cause severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Its current significance concerning urological diseases and symptoms remains obscure. Minimal awareness regarding the disease among physicians could lead to improper assessment and treatment. In Indonesia, reports regarding prostatic calculi are still limited. We report a 50-year-old male with symptomatic multiple prostatic calculi.
