    Summary

    A bullet migrated from the kidney into the urinary tract, causing pain and requiring surgical removal. This rare event highlights the potential for projectile migration within the urinary system.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Foreign body migration within the urinary tract is uncommon.
    • Bullets and metallic fragments can potentially travel within the renal collecting system.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of bullet migration into the renal collecting system.
    • To review the literature on projectile migration within the urinary tract.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of a patient presenting with acute renal colic.
    • Literature review of reported cases of projectile migration in the urinary tract.

    Main Results:

    • A bullet lodged in the renal parenchyma migrated to the collecting system over two months.
    • This migration caused acute renal colic, necessitating pyelotomy for removal.
    • Literature review identified 8 cases of projectile migration in the urinary tract (5 metallic fragments, 3 bullets).

    Conclusions:

    • Bullet migration into the renal collecting system can occur, leading to significant symptoms.
    • Surgical intervention may be required for removal of migrated projectiles.
    • This case adds to the limited literature on urinary tract projectile migration.
