| Popis: | Fungal bezoars are extremely rare in the urinary bladder, and there is limited literature regarding the modality of management. We report a case, where the piecemeal removal of a vesical fungal bezoar was performed using Ho:YAG LASER. A 60-year-old man presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and on evaluation was diagnosed with vesical calculus. On cystoscopy, a white-colored, smooth contoured ball was identified in the bladder. The effective endourological modalities for the removal of fungal bezoar require mention in the literature. This case report demonstrates the possibility and efficiency of Ho:YAG LASER in the endourological retrieval of fungal bezoar in the bladder. The rarity of the diagnosis results in difficulty in prompt management. |
