Medical Case Reports

Background:

Ureteric calculi, or kidney stones in the ureter, are common but typically measure significantly less than 12 cm.
Giant ureteric calculi exceeding 12 cm are exceedingly rare, posing unique diagnostic and management challenges.

Observation:

A case of a giant ureteric calculus measuring 12 cm in length is presented.
This represents one of the largest ureteric calculi ever reported in medical literature.

Findings:

The clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and management of this giant ureteric calculus are discussed.
Analysis of this case contributes to the limited understanding of the etiology and characteristics of exceptionally large ureteric stones.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering rare presentations of ureteric calculi.
Understanding the features of giant ureteric calculi can inform treatment strategies for similar rare cases.
