Resumen
A 78-year-old man with coagulopathy and lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia underwent transurethral prostate ethanol gel injection. Six months after the injection, the patient presented with irritative symptoms and hematuria. Ultrasonography revealed a 5-cm intravesical calculus. Cystolitholapaxy was unsuccessful, and the patient underwent cystolithotomy with retrieval of a large, soft, round, brownish mass. Histologic examination of the mass demonstrated prostatic hyperplastic glandular stroma with extensive coagulate necrosis and peripheral calcification. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a calculus formed by prostatic tissue slosh after ethanol injection. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. 65 5 1002.e24 1002.e25 Ditrolio, J., Patel, P., Watson, R.A., Chemo-ablation of the prostate with dehydrated alcohol for the treatment of prostatic obstruction (2002) J Urol, 167, pp. 2100-2104 Zvara, P., Karpman, E., Stoppacher, R., Ablation of canine prostate using transurethral intraprostatic absolute ethanol injection (1999) Urology, 54, pp. 411-415 Goya, N., Ishikawa, N., Ito, F., Ethanol injection therapy of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia: Preliminary report on application of a new technique (1999) J Urol, 162, pp. 383-386 Littrup, P.J., Lee, F., Borlaza, G.S., Percutaneous ablation of the canine prostate using transrectal ultrasound guidance absolute ethanol and Nd:YAG laser (1988) Invest Radiol, 23, pp. 734-739 Chiang, P.H., Chuang, Y.C., Huang, C.C., Pilot study of transperineal injection of dehydrated ethanol in the treatment of prostatic obstruction (2003) Urology, 61, pp. 797-801
