摘要

Dear Editor, Prostatic calcification is a common condition observed by the urology community.The earliest description was proposed by Donatus in 1586,followed by Pohl in 1737.1 In clinical practice,an overwhelming majority of prostatic calcification cases are discovered incidentally.This issue has attracted considerable interests,albeit its clinical significance continues to stir discussion and debate.Patients with prostatic calcification often seek medical consultation owing to psychological or emotional reasons,thereby incurring a significant burden.
