Abstract
|
|
|
Preputial calculi are a very rare manifestation of urolithiasis that occur most often in uncircumcised elderly males with poor hygiene and low socioeconomic status. Here, we present a case of preputial calculi in a 13-year-old boy with a buried penis. No penile shaft was observed and hard materials palpated around the penile foreskin. Imaging examinations showed several stones around the penis and surgical correction was indicated. The stones were removed and a circumferential incision along the coronal edge allowed for degloving with rotated skin flaps. Surgical removal of the stones and reconstruction was performed to promote hygiene and prevent future infection.
