There was a small stone in the right kidney. (Figure 1). This radio opaque density situated in the soft tissue of left loin was not present in either of the X-ray of abdomen taken earlier (Figure 1) or subsequent to extrusion of the renal calculus. (Figure 6).

X-ray abdomen showed left-sided staghorn calculus. (Figures 2 and 3). With hindsight, the extruded renal calculus could be seen lying in the subcutaneous tissue of left loin lateral to the 10th rib in the X-ray of abdomen, which was taken when he presented with red mark and minimal swelling (Figures 2 and 3).

An X-ray of abdomen showed that he had extruded central portion of the staghorn calculus from left kidney. (Figure 6). This radio opaque density situated in the soft tissue of left loin was not present in either of the X-ray of abdomen taken earlier (Figure 1) or subsequent to extrusion of the renal calculus. (Figure 6).
