Abstract
Urethral calculus is a rare form of urolithiasis with an incidence lower than 0.3%. Most of urethral calculus present in posterior urethra, few in anterior urethra and only 4-11% found at fossa navicularis. Urethral calculi usually results from migration from bladder, upper tract or it may arise de novo. We report a 56-years old male with a large fossa navicularis stone leading to urethro-cutaneous fistula and renal failure. The patient underwent meatotomy, stone extraction and primary repair of urethro-cutaneous fistula.
