description Urethral foreign bodies are rare in daily practice, especially in adolescents with no evident history of mental illness. The presentation is usually delayed and a wide variety of objects may be implicated.

Despite the available literature on self-inserted urethral foreign bodies; the case we report here of urethral self-insertion of a sewing needle in a 14 year-old boy for autoerotic stimulation is very rare.
