ABSTRACT

A giant bladder stone is rare and is usually defined as "giant" if its weight is over 100g. We describe a 43-year-old man who presented with urinary sepsis, hypotension, abdominal pain, and a vesicocutaneous urinary fistula. Laboratory tests showed hemoglobin 6.6 g/dL, leukocytes 22,700/mm³, creatinine 7.29mg/dL (eGFR 8.8mL/min/1.73m2), urea 181 mg/dL, serum pH 6.99 and bicarbonate 6 meq/L. Abdominal tomography showed bilaterally reduced cortical thickness of the kidneys and a bladder stone of 6x6x11 cm. He was treated with antibiotic therapy, dialysis, and open cystolithotomy. Clinical improvement was observed, despite kidney disease persistence, with chronic dialysis therapy.


Cálculos gigantes na bexiga são raros e são definidos como "gigantes" quando o peso é superior a 100g. Apresentamos um homem de 43 anos com sepse urinária. O exame físico revelou hipotensão, dor abdominal e fístula urinária vesicocutânea. O laboratório mostrou hemoglobina 6,6 g/dL, leucócitos 22.700/mm³, creatinina 7,29 mg/dL (TFGe 8,8mL/min/1,73m2), ureia 181 mg/dL, pH sérico 6,99 e bicarbonato 6 meq/L. A tomografia abdominal mostrou redução da espessura cortical dos rins bilateralmente e cálculo vesical de 6x6x11 cm. Foi tratado com antibioticoterapia, diálise e cistolitotomia aberta. Melhora clínica foi observada, apesar de persistência da doença renal, com terapia dialítica crônica.
