A case of milk-of-calcium with an exceptional location is reported. The characteristics of milk-of-calcium are presented, with stasis and urinary tract infection being the most important etiologic factors in this case. Structurally the stones are formed by a central core of calcium phosphate surrounded by magnesium-ammonium phosphate (struvite).
