title: [Multiple urethral lithiasis. Report of a case].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of multiple urethral calculi, an uncommon urological condition in our setting. The clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects are discussed and the literature is briefly reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 77-year-old male consulted at the emergency services of our hospital for dysuria, pollakiuria and difficulty in voiding. The patient also referred and indurated area in the penile ventral aspect. Radiological examination disclosed three calculi in the penile urethra with were successfully removed by meatotomty and urethrolithotomy. The patient is currently asymptomatic.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Urethral calculus is uncommon in developed countries. "Milking" is not advocated due to the high incidence of urethral injury. Treatment is by simple urethrolithotomy in combination with other techniques (urethroplasty, diverticulectomy, etc.), if required.
