We present a case of a 55-year-old male with a history of urethroscopic calculus removal who later developed urinary tract infection (UTI), complicated by periurethral abscess formation with osteomyelitis of the inferior pubic ramus and a urethrocutaneous fistula after surgical drainage of the abscess. UTI with periurethral abscess and urethrocutaneous fistula (watering-can perineum) is a rare complication of UTI. A periurethral abscess with pubic osteomyelitis has not been previously reported.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common solid malignancy in men in the UK. Pleomorphic giant cell carcinoma (PGCC) is a rare, aggressive variant of prostate adenocarcinoma.

Article Synopsis
- - A 76-year-old woman experienced pelvic pain and urinary issues, leading to the discovery of a rare case of melioidosis affecting a periurethral diverticulum.
- - CT scans showed a large cystic collection, and urine tests confirmed the presence of melioidosis; cystoscopy indicated a connection between the urethra and diverticulum.
- - Despite no common risk factors for the infection, the case underscores the need for tailored management of melioidosis due to unique anatomical challenges contributing to recurrent abscess formation.

Urinary tract stones predominantly affect the kidneys and ureters, with bladder stones representing a smaller subset. Secondary bladder stones often arise from underlying pathologies such as bladder outlet obstruction, neurogenic bladder dysfunction, or the presence of foreign bodies within the bladder. We present a case of a 54-year-old male with a history of bladder stones and type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with chronic urinary symptoms and penile swelling.

Urinary-cutaneous fistulas are typically treated by pediatric urologists and typically arise after surgical interventions. The three atypical cases of acquired urethrocutaneous fistula that we present here have variously resulted from an untreated periurethral abscess to complications of an initial urethral calculi. To prevent an intraoperative surprise, learning from our cases put emphasis on the importance of early intervention and a high index of suspicion for underlying calculi.
