    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Radiology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Renal stones (calculi) can form in various renal structures.
    • Sacular structures within the kidney are potential sites for stone formation.
    • Understanding the varied presentations of renal calculi is crucial for diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • Five cases of renal stones were analyzed.
    • Four cases involved calculi within calyceal diverticuli.
    • One case presented with calculi in a hydronephrotic sac.

    Findings:

    • Renal stones demonstrated a remarkably similar radiographic appearance to gallstones.
    • The location within calyceal diverticuli or hydronephrotic sacs influenced the radiographic presentation.
    • Radiographic similarity can pose a diagnostic challenge, requiring careful interpretation.

    Implications:

    • Radiologists and clinicians should consider renal stones when encountering gallstone-like imaging findings.
    • Improved diagnostic accuracy for renal calculi in unusual locations.
    • Further research into differentiating imaging characteristics may be warranted.
