    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Milk of calcium stones, a rare radiological finding, were analyzed structurally and chemically. These stones consist of calcium oxalate crystals with deposited apatite needles, offering new insights into their composition.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Mineralogy
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Milk of calcium is a rare radiological finding characterized by stones exhibiting movement in vivo.
    • Despite numerous case reports, comprehensive structural and chemical analyses are lacking in existing literature.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct a detailed structural and chemical analysis of milk of calcium stones.
    • To elucidate the composition of these unusual calculi.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiological imaging in various patient postures.
    • Comprehensive structural and chemical analyses of the stone material.

    Main Results:

    • The analyzed milk of calcium stones were composed of large calcium oxalate monohydrate and dihydrate crystals.

  • Clusters of small apatite needles were observed deposited on the calcium oxalate crystals.

    • Conclusions:

    • Milk of calcium stones possess a complex composition involving both calcium oxalate and apatite.
    • This detailed analysis provides a deeper understanding of the mineralogy of milk of calcium stones.
