Penile skin bridge stones are rare complications which has never been reported in literature hence information about management is non-existent. This case reports a 24-year-old man presenting with recurrent inflammatory symptoms in his sizeable penile skin bridge. Clinical examination revealed multiple calculi which was confirmed after surgical division of the SB. Phimosis and stone migration are the pathological basis underlying all reported cases of non-urethral calculi in uncircumcised elderly phallus. Extra-luminal urolithiasis in a young circumcised man, we believe have different predisposing factors and prognosis. Treatment involved stone removal and debridement of the skin bridge which yielded successful outcome.
