Abstract
The first case of brushite encrustation and lithiasis of the prostatic bed is reported following transurethral resection of the prostate. Brushite crystals form on hydroxyapatite deposits exposed to the acidic urinary stream after transurethral resection of the prostate and serve to spawn brushite calculi.Keywords
