Abstract

Introduction: Prostatic calculi occur relatively often in men, but exceptionally they have a clinical importance. Although prostatic calculi are common little is known of their clinical effects, etiology or treatment. These stones are common in males over 50 years and they may be solitary but usually occur in clusters and are associated with some other disease processes such as nodular hyperplasia, prostatic carcinoma and metabolic abnormalities. They are most often asymptomatic; however,#symptoms that may be attributable to prostatic calculi include lower urinary tract symptoms, intense lower back pain and perineal dyscomfort. Treatment generally can be accomplished by transurethral resection. A 71 years old man admitted to our clinic with the complaints of dysuria, perineal discomfort and urinary retention. After the radiological and physical examinations, transurethral resection of prostate was performed with an eventual pathological diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia. During the operation multiple large stones were detected within the prostatic gland.

Özet

Prostat taşlan erkeklerde nispeten sık görülmesine karşın ender olarak klinik öneme sahiptirler. Prostat taşlan erkeklerde sık görülmesine rağmen etiyolojileri, klinik özellikleri ve tedavileri ile ilgili çok az bilgi mevcuttur. Bu taşlar genellikle 50 yaş üzerinde görülmekte olup çoğunlukla tek bir taştan ziyade küme halindeki taşlardan oluşurlar ve prostat hastalıkları (prostatik hiperplazi, kanser ve metabolik hastalıklar) ile birlikte görülebilirler. Prostat taşları çoğunlukla asemptomatik olmalarına rağmen bazen kütlesel etkisi yada taşlara ikincil infeksiyonlara bağlı olarak idrar akımında azalma, prostatizm yakınmalan, perineal rahatsızlık yada bel ağrısı olabilir. Tedavide transüretral prostatektomi genellikle yeterlidir. Bizim olgumuzda, 71 yaşındaki erkek hasta, dizüri, perineal rahatsızlık ve idrar yapamama yakınmalan ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Yapılan fizik muayene, laboratuvar ve radyolojik tetkikleri sonucu hastaya selim prostatik hiperplazi ön tanısı ile TUR-P operasyonu planlandı. Operasyon sırasında prostat içerisinde birden fazla büyük taşlar görüldü.
