    A 50-year-old female passed cholesterol calculi for 10 years. Despite suspected digestive-urogenital fistula, investigations were inconclusive, and hyperlipoproteinemia was unrelated.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • A 50-year-old female presented with a decade-long history of passing cholesterol calculi.
    • Previous abdominal surgeries raised suspicion of a gastrointestinal-urinary tract fistula.

    Observation:

    • Diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests failed to confirm a fistula between the digestive and urogenital systems.
    • The patient exhibited type II/a hyperlipoproteinemia.

    Findings:

    • Cholesterol calculi were the primary presenting issue.
    • The suspected fistula could not be radiologically or laboratorially verified.
    • Type II/a hyperlipoproteinemia was identified but deemed unrelated to the cholesterol calculi.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare presentation of cholesterol calculi potentially unrelated to common etiological factors like fistulas or hyperlipoproteinemia.
    • Further investigation into the specific pathogenesis of cholesterol calculi in this patient is warranted.
    • The findings underscore the importance of comprehensive differential diagnosis in recurrent stone formation.
