A giant vesical calculus is one weighing >100 g. A long-standing vesical calculus can be associated with squamous cell carcinoma of bladder.
Case Presentation:
In this study, we report an unusual association of giant vesical calculus (weight 570 g) with adenocarcinoma of urinary bladder in a young man. We could find only two such cases in the literature.
Conclusion:
Rarity of the association of giant vesical calculus and adenocarcinoma of the bladder and their management issues warrant this presentation.
