Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Penile urethral stones are uncommon, arising from urinary tract stone migration or urethral abnormalities.
  • Causes include strictures, tumors, and congenital anomalies, with primary fossa navicularis calculi being extremely rare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of penile gangrene and sepsis caused by impacted penile urethral stones.
  • To summarize the current understanding of penile urethral stone formation and pathophysiology.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 54-year-old male with penile gangrene and sepsis.
  • Literature review on the causes and pathophysiology of penile urethral stones.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with severe penile gangrene and sepsis due to impacted multiple stones in the penile urethra.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The condition resulted from a rare impaction of stones within the penile urethra.

    • Conclusions:

    • Impacted penile urethral stones can lead to devastating complications, including penile gangrene and sepsis.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of penile urethral stones.
