Objective: Ectopic ureter is a congenital anomaly more frequent in the female, in the pediatric age and is commonly left-sided. The present article reports an uncommon case without the common features of this anomaly., Methods/results: We report on a 67-year-old man with complete duplex system and ectopic obstructive megaureter in the prostatic urethra with a silent onset. The diagnostic and therapeutic aspects in the literature are briefly discussed., Conclusion: Because this anomaly is asymptomatic and incidentally discovered because of contralateral disease, the approach is conservative.

Calculi in the male urethra are rare and are generally associated with urethral disorder (diverticuli, stricture, complication posturethroplasty, etc.). Treatment is generally by excision and resolution of the underlying cause. We report a case of urethral calculus, of apparently idiopathic etiology, that had treated by endoscopic ultrasonic disruption. The importance of preoperative etiologic diagnosis is underscored.
