    A rare case of a retroperitoneal struvite calculus, presenting only as persistent Pseudomonas bacteriuria, is detailed. The study explores the underlying causes of this unusual kidney stone formation.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) can lead to complex kidney stone formation.
    • Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen often associated with difficult-to-treat UTIs.

    Observation:

    • A retroperitoneal struvite calculus was identified.
    • The calculus's sole presenting symptom was persistent Pseudomonas bacteriuria.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights a unique presentation of struvite calculus.
    • The etiology of calculus formation in this specific context is explored.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the link between persistent bacteriuria and calculus development is crucial for clinical management.
