Abstract

A 70-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain, acute renal failure, and fever 2 years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During the surgical drainage of the abscess formation on the patient’s right flank, a huge gallstone was found in the retroperitoneum. The patient was dismissed from the hospital 11 days after admission with normal lab panel and restored renal function.
