Abstract: A 42-year-old man presented with a 2-day history of severe colicky pain in the left flank with vomit-ing. X-ray (figure 1A) and ultrasonography showed a 13 mm left vesicoureteric junction calculus (figure 1B) with moderate hydroureteronephrosis and small-sized right kidney. Serum creatine was 3.0 mg/dL. In view of deranged renal function left side JJ stenting was planned. Cystoscopy showed large stone in ureterocele peeping through left ureteric orifice (figure 2A). The stone was nudged with ureteric catheter down into the bladder (figure 2B,C) and removed after cystolitholapaxy. The incidence of ureterocele at autopsy is 1/500– 1/4000.1 Ureterocele is a dilation of the submucosal ureter due to a delay in Chawall’s membrane
