We report three cases of pyelic fungus ball from Candida albicans in two patients (one bilateral) with lithiasic urinary obstruction that were treated endo-urologically by percutaneous nephroscopy and with adjuvant antifungal medication. The infection mechanism, nephroscopy procedure and results obtained are discussed.
