title: Renal papillary necrosis caused by urinary calculus-induced obstruction alone.
abstract: We report a case of renal papillary necrosis in a 18-year-old female. Urinary tract obstruction induced by a calculus seems to be the only etiologic factor in this case, although the multifactorial nature of this lesion has been stressed.
