Ureteral stone presenting as acute prostatitis: A case report of a COVID-19 patient with distal ureteral stone

Distal ureterolithiasis is one of the most common urinary tract problems and can be accompanied by such symptoms as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dysuria, frequent urination, and hematuria.

The ureteral stone might be misdiagnosed in the presence of atypical symptoms. We reported a 31-year-old man with clinical signs of prostatitis, normal laboratory tests, and normal ultrasonography who had received treatment for acute prostatitis for several weeks, however, had no improvement.  

Further assessments by intravenous pyelography revealed distal right ureteral stone. Complete recovery was achieved immediately after transurethral lithotripsy.
