Of 37 adult patients with ureteroceles, 13 also had calculous disease (35 per cent). Of these 13 cases 7 had single ureters and 6 had duplicated ones. None had a metabolic or urinary abnormality such as hypercalcemia, gout, hypercalciuria or hyperuricuria. Two of the patients were a mother and daugher--the first reported familial incidence of ureterocele with calculous disease. A surgical technique is described for removal of the calculus, excision of the ureterocele and reimplantation of the ureter. The procedure was used in 4 of the 7 patients with single ureters, while the stone passed spontaneously in 2 patients and was treated by ureterolithotomy in 1. A modification of the technique was used in 2 of the 6 patients with duplicated ureters but other surgical procedures were used in the remaining 4. Of 10 stones that were analyzed 2 were struvite and none contained cystine or uric acid. Long-term followup is a requisite to assure control of this clinical entity.
