1/10. Giant ureteral stone associated with partial ureteral duplication.We are presenting a 36-year-old male patient with right flank pain and a history of recurrent urinary tract infection for three years. Radiographic intervention revealed a right partial ureteral duplication with a giant stone in size 9.6 cm in the ureteral limb draining the non-functioning upper pole of the right kidney. Open ureterolithotomy and partial nephroureterectomy was performed by a right flank incision. The presence of a ureteral partial duplication created a "yo-yo phenomenon", which interfered with stone passage to the bladder and may cause such giant ureteral stone.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/10. Case report: Nonobstructive giant urethral stone with two safety pins.The urethra can be the site of various types of foreign bodies. A 61-year-old man having a giant urethral stone with two safety pins was evaluated according to the literature. To our knowledge, we report the first case of foreign bodies in urethra in which existing non-obstructive giant urethral stone with two safety pins.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/10. Orthotopic ileal neobladder giant stone in a female.This article describes an unexpected case of a giant neobladder stone in a female that was diagnosed incidentally for a concurrent ovarian disease, without clinical or instrumental evidence of neobladder over distension. In July 1989, M.A., woman, 39-years old, underwent radical cystectomy, saving the uterus and the ovaries, and orthotopic ileal bladder substitution. Twelve years later she had symptoms of diffuse abdominal discomfort for about one month, without noticeable urinary symptoms or urinary retention. Enhanced CT and a subsequent MRI showed the presence of a 10 x 12.5 x 19 cm capsulated ovaric mass with sharp edges and associated obstructive bilateral hydroureteronephrosis, and an oval-shaped stone with a 10 cm longitudinal diameter, which occupied the majority of the neobladder cavity. The patient underwent surgical operation to remove the ovaric mass (fibrotecoma) and to extract the giant floating stone by a neocystotomy. Its dimensions were 10.5 x 7 x 7 cm, weighing 760 g. The stone was triple phosphate on chemical-physical analysis. The case reveals that neobladder stones can be associated with very few symptoms and if an appropriate follow-up is not performed they can become of remarkable dimensions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |

6/10. Giant vesico-prostatic and prostatic calculi.Prostatic calculi formation after prostatectomy is an unusual and late complication. We report three such cases of giant size calculi following transvesical prostatectomy.

7/10. Primary giant calculus in urethral diverticulum.Urethral stone is a rare clinical entity and usually encountered in men with urethral stricture or diverticulum. They are exceedingly rare in females secondary to the low incidence of vesical calculi and short urethra. We report a very rare case of a primary giant calculus in a urethral diverticulum of a female.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.5keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/10. Endoscopic treatment of a giant ileal conduit calculus.A giant ileal conduit calculus is an uncommon complication of urinary diversion, with few recent reports present in the English literature. To date all described instances have necessitated treatment by laparotomy. The first reported successful management of such a condition by purely endoscopic means is reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.5keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/10. Giant urethral calculus.This is a case report of a 56-year-old Malay male presenting with a giant urethral calculus. The stone measuring 70 X 50 X 40 mm and weighing 45 g was impacted in the posterior urethra. The giant urethral calculus was removed successfully through external urethrotomy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/10. A case of primary giant calculus in female urethra.Urinary calculus is rarely seen in the urethra and is usually encountered in men with urethral stricture or diverticulum. Primary urethral calculi are extremely rare in females. We describe a case of a giant urethral stone impacted in the urethra of a 103-year-old female.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.5keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
