Abstract

Foreign body in the urethra is a rare condition, which is caused by the placement of a foreign object in theperson's own urethra, with different causes, and requires immediate intervention. We present a 16-year-oldmale case of self-insertion of a pencil into the urethra migrating into the bladder. The pencil was in prostaticurethra and pulled by holding it with forceps endoscopically. Open surgery is usually required for the foreignbody in the urethra and bladder. In the appropriate patients, the foreign body can be removed with endoscopicmanagement.
