Summary:Foreign bodies in lower urinary tract may present in a different number of ways. We report four cases of such unusual presentation. Physical examination and plain radiograph was sufficient enough to confirm our diagnosis in all cases.

Prompt surgical management prevented urinary tract infections and long term complications in these patients.
