Submucosal renal pelvic calcification simulating a pelvic stone

M Firstater, A Farkas

    The Journal of Urology
    |December 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study details a rare case of renal pelvic calcification that mimicked a kidney stone on imaging. Histopathology confirmed submucosal calcification, unrelated to amyloidosis, marking a unique finding in medical literature.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Renal pelvic calcification can be challenging to differentiate from renal pelvic calculi (kidney stones) using imaging alone.
    • Amyloidosis is a known cause of renal calcification, but other etiologies exist.

    Observation:

    • A case is presented where radiological findings suggested a renal pelvic calculus.
    • The resected kidney underwent detailed radiological and histopathological examination.

    Findings:

    • Histopathology revealed submucosal calcification within the renal pelvis.
    • The calcification was definitively unrelated to amyloidosis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of integrating radiological and histopathological findings for accurate diagnosis.
    • It represents the first documented instance of renal pelvic calcification not associated with amyloidosis in the English literature, expanding differential diagnoses.
