Abstract

Urethral calculi are relatively unusual. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, there is no report in the literature of abscess formation related to calculus-induced urethral rupture. We report a case of a 57-year-old man with a periurethral abscess at the penoscrotal junction caused by urethral stones.
