Abstract
Fifty years after surgical castration, an elderly man developed bladder outlet obstruction due to massive prostatic calculi. The composition of the calculi was characteristic of prostatic concretions which form in normal men. This case questions those theories which attribute prostatic calculi to precipitation of the salts contained in testosterone-stimulated prostatic secretions.
