RESUMO

Eggshell calcification of kidney in case of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is an uncommon finding with only a few cases reported in literature. We report a thirty-year-old symptomatic man with curvilinear calcification in hydronephrotic right kidney. Thorough investigations to rule out genitourinary tuberculosis and hydatid disease of kidney were performed prior to the definitive management by laparoscopic approach.
