title: [Urethral diverticulum complicated with giant lithiasis].
abstract: Presentation of one case report of acquired urethral diverticulum in a male with giant urethral lithiasis. Urethral diverticulum are rare entities in males, the condition being more frequent in females. In general, they are acquired in up to 90% cases, the remaining 10% being hereditary Giant urethral lithiasis is also uncommon in our milieu, incidence being higher in Eastern Countries; 4-10% of urethral diverticulum are occupied by lithiasis. Diagnosis is mainly through clinical symptomatology involving the development of a perineal mass or phlegmon; however definite diagnosis is made through CUMS. Management of giant diverticulum in males is by open surgery, preferably a one-step diverticulectomy procedure; in cases such as the reported here, where urethral stenosis or a significant inflammatory involvement of the periurethral tissues is present, a two-step urethroplasty should be preferred.
