Background:

  • Unilateral giant hydronephrosis can present with complex pathologies.
  • Milk of calcium renal stones are an uncommon finding.

Observation:

  • A rare case of milk of calcium renal stones in unilateral giant hydronephrosis is presented.
  • Various imaging modalities including radiography, sonography, intravenous urography, and computed tomography (TC) were utilized.
  • Digital image techniques provided detailed morphostructural information of the pyeloureteral junction and the renal stone.

Findings:
