Xanthine stone in the urinary bladder of a male child.
[]
Urinary
tract
calculi
composed
primarily
of
xanthine
are
rate
both
in
adults
and
children
.
We
describe
the
clinical
presentation
and
management
of
a
3
.
5
-
year
-old
boy
with
hereditary
xanthinuria
(
an
autosomal
recessive
disorder
of
purine
metabolism
)
and
primary
bladder
calculus
formed
from
xanthine
.
To
our
knowledge
this
case
demonstrates
a
previously
undescribed
form
of
xanthinuria
in
childhood
.
Xanthine
stones
,
although
rare
,
should
be
considered
in
the
diagnosis
of
urolithiasis
.
