Ectopic Bone as a Nidus for Calcium Oxalate Urocystolithiasis in a Cat
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 7-year-old female spayed domestic shorthair cat was referred to the urology service for nonsurgical urocystolith removal. A urolith was attached to the urothelium by ectopic bone. Interventional removal without surgery was successful. Follow-up evaluation 3 years after urolith removal revealed recurrent uroliths, bladder wall mineralization, and marked renal mineralization. This case illustrates the metaplastic potential of the urothelium and that ectopic bone should be included among the pathological factors that promote lithogenesis.

Osteoid Osteoma و گزارش هفت مورد آن در دست در ظرف مدت سه سال از بخش ارتوپدی بیمارستان امام خمینی
Osteoid osteoma is a unique benign primary bone tumor that may present in the metaphyseal diaphyseal areas of the short tubular bones and has also been reported in the carpal bones. It occurs in the first two decades of life. The classic history is bone pain, often relieved by aspirin. The clinical appearance is local swelling and tenderness. The typical radiographic appearance is very characte...

PURPOSE This study aimed to accurately analyze the relationship between calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formation and the components of urinary nanocrystallites. METHOD High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction, fast Fourier transformation of HRTEM, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were performed to analyze the components of these nanocr...
متن کاملInvestigating the Potential of Escherichia coli to Promote Kidney Stone Formation
Escherichia coli is commonly isolated from the urine of kidney stone patients and has been observed to be embedded within the nidus of calcium oxalate kidney stones. A possible association between urinary tract infections and calcium oxalate crystallogenesis was investigated using an agarose plate assay. Calcium oxalate crystallization was observed to be directly proportional to the density of ...
متن کاملHypocalcaemia and a low cardiac output after intravenous codeine phosphate injection: need for an additional mechanism to remove ionized calcium
A severe degree of hypotension in children followed the intravenous administration of codeine phosphate in several case reports—histamine release was its presumed root cause [1–3]. We also report cardiovascular collapse following accidental bolus intravenous injection of 30 mg (74 μmol) codeine phosphate, but it was associated with a surprising profound degree of hypocalcaemia. A quantitative a...
متن کامل[Effect of etidronate disodium (EHDP) on calcium oxalate renal stones induced by synthetic 1 alpha(OH) vitamin D3 and ethylene glycol in rats].
Combination of 1 alpha(OH) D3(vit D) and ethylene glycol induced renal or ureteral stones or both consisting of calcium oxalate in male Wistar rats. This study investigates the effect of EHDP on calcium oxalate stone using the rat model. EHDP reduced the frequency of renal stone and calcium content in the kidney, and reduced the size of the stones in the renal pelvis and ureter. EHDP biochemica...
