Abstract

A 25 year old man was hospitalized with the complaints of pain during micturition and macroscopic hematuria. Plain radiography showed 4 properly shaped bladder stone shadows. Cystolithotomy was performed following cystoscopy and bladder neck incision. The stones weighed 500 g totally. Previously we have reported a similar patient with giant bladder calculi . To the best of our knowledge the present patient represents one of the largest bladder stone cases reported to date.
