Abstract:
Preputial calculus is an infrequent manifestation of urolithiasis, primarily observed in ageing individuals with an uncircumcised penis and not maintaining proper hygiene, which can further be complicated by co-morbidities such as phimosis. On the contrary, phimosis and other neurological/urological malformations have also been reported in children to cause preputial calculus. Overall clinical presentations include a palpable mass within the prepuce, dysuria, hematuria, obstructive uropathy, diminished urine flow, and malodorous discharge. This is a case of a 65-year-old male presented with a complaint of obstructed urinary flow. The patient was diagnosed with obstructive uropathy due to the presence of preputial stone/s. This case illustrates both singular and multiple stones in the affected patient. The patient was managed by surgical intervention by circumcision followed by calculus removal. As per the available published literature, this case can be noted as the first report of the largest preputial stone in an elderly in any rural setup of central India.
