First published April 18, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00370.2005.—We have investigated urine protein inhibitors of calcium oxalate crystallization to determine whethe...

bladder stone is an old known mankind disease. it is a problem of male and is more common in children of underdeveloped countries and old age men in industrialized countries. giant bladder stone in a female without any underlying problem is even a rarer entity. the case alone is hence being reported in view of its rarity and persistence of stone from childhood

Formation of bladder stone in repaired case of bladderexstrophy is reported to be around 15%. Formation of stone in urethra is rare accounting for less than 0.3% of cases. We report one such case of penile urethral stone presenting 7 years after bladderexstrophy repair. Stone was removed by urethrotomy and urethroplasty was done over Foley’s catheter. Patient developed urethro-cutaneous fistula...
