Urogenital tuberculosis remains a frequent disease in our country. It is the most common extra-pulmonary location. Prostatic involvement is extremely rare. We report the observation of a prostatic lithiasis complicating a granulomatous prostatitis of tuberculous origin, revealed essentially by obstructive and storage lower urinary tract symptoms. The diagnosis was suspected on imaging and clinical findings and confirmed by histology. Treatment consisted of endoscopic resection of the prostate associated with endoscopic ballistic lithotripsy. Prostatic lithiasis is a rare condition with a poorly elucidated ethiopathogeny. The origin of tuberculosis should be evoked in front of this affection.
