AB  - Prostatic calculi, though common in adult men, are
rare in children. We report three cases of pediatric
prostatic calculi seen at our clinic that were associated
with hypercalciuria and elevated urinary calcium/
creatinine ratios. The patients had no symptoms from
their prostatic calcification, but one patient had
recurrent symptomatic renal calculi. In patients with
prostatic calculi, determination of spot urine calcium/
creatinine ratios is recommended. If significant
hypercalciuria is found, treatment to prevent upper
urinary tract calculi may be considered.
