Primary urethral calculi are uncommon in the Western world. Stone formation is frequently associated with prior disorders affecting the urinary flow such as urethral diverticula, stenosis of the urethra and impacted foreign bodies. The authors report a case of a 77-year-old man, who complained of acute urinary retention and pain on the genital area. The diagnosis of urethral lithiasis was established and radiological studies revealed a wood cylindrical foreign body inside the stone.
