Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Ureteroceles are congenital cystic dilations of the distal ureter.
  • Simple ureteroceles are less common than ectopic ureteroceles.
  • Ureteroceles can be associated with calculus formation.

Observation:

  • An uncommon case of a simple ureterocele was identified.
  • The ureterocele contained a calcified stone.
  • This presentation is infrequent in clinical practice.

Findings:

  • The patient presented with symptoms attributable to the ureterocele and stone.
  • Diagnostic imaging confirmed the presence of a simple ureterocele with an intraluminal calcified stone.
  • Successful treatment was achieved for this complex presentation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering ureteroceles in the differential diagnosis of upper urinary tract stones.
  • Successful management strategies for ureteroceles with calculi can be extrapolated from this case.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal treatment of calcified ureteroceles may be warranted.
