Object numberGC.7277
TitleCalculi: prostate
DescriptionCalculi removed from the prostate.
From a male aet 72 years who had complained during some months of a stinging pain towards the end of micturition. Examination per rectum showed an enlarged prostate which felt nodular and hard. It was removed by the perineal route and when cut open contained these four and a smaller stone.
The two smaller stones correspond closely with large prostatic concretions. The two larger stones are obviously composed of aggregations of concretions which have become adherent to one another. They are a yellowish colour, smooth, polished and shining.
