Abstract
-
Calyceal diverticula are eventrations of the upper collecting system, lying within the renal parenchyma, communicating with the main collecting system via a narrow channel and lining by transitional tell epithelium. Most are asyptomatic and rarely require any form of treatment but complicated one needs surgical correction. We experienced one case of calyceal diverticulum associated with stone in 47 year old man. This calyceal diverticulum was removed by partial nephrectomy.
