Urinary tract calculi composed primarily of xanthine are rare both in adults and children. We describe the clinical presentation and management of a 3.5-year-old boy with hereditary xanthinuria (an autosomal recessive disorder of purine metabolism) and primary bladder calculus formed from xanthine. To our knowledge this case demonstrates a previously undescribed form of xanthinuria in childhood. Xanthine stones, although rare, should be considered in the diagnosis of urolithiasis.Copyright © 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
