We report a 68-year-old man with penile encrustation caused by a condom catheter used for urinary incontinence. High-resolution x-ray crystallographic analysis of the encrustation revealed struvite [MgNH4PO4.6H2O] and apatite [Ca5(PO4)3(OH)]. Physicians should be aware that penile encrustation may occur as a complication of condom catheter use. The problem of encrustation is discussed. A brief review of condom catheter complications is presented.
