Urethral diverticulum is a saccular struc-ture that localized anywhere along the co-urse of urethra and also communicates with the urethral channel. It is rarely seen in men and it is an acquired abnormality. The most frequently encountered causes are long-term urethral catheterization, infection and trau-ma. While urethral stricture is most frequ-ently detected in the etiology of urethral sto-ne, urethral diverticulum is one of the very rarely seen causes of urethral stone. Herein, we reported a case of incidental diverticulum of the male urethra containing calculi that detected endoscopically in a 53-year-old man with a primary bladder tumor.

Abstract
Urethral diverticulum is a saccular struc-ture that localized anywhere along the co-urse of urethra and also communicates with the urethral channel. It is rarely seen in men and it is an acquired abnormality. The most frequently encountered causes are long-term urethral catheterization, infection and trau-ma. While urethral stricture is most frequ-ently detected in the etiology of urethral sto-ne, urethral diverticulum is one of the very rarely seen causes of urethral stone. Herein, we reported a case of incidental diverticulum of the male urethra containing calculi that detected endoscopically in a 53-year-old man with a primary bladder tumor.
