Özet
Intravesical foreign objects are rare but significant urological problem as they cause recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder stone formation and chronic irritation leading to malignant transformation. Although self-urethral infliction and iatrogenic etiologies are common, trauma-related etiologies and migration from an adjacent organ are also reported within literature. Here we present a case with a prediagnosis of bladder stone and an unexpected intraoperative diagnosis of intravesical bullet covered by stone identified during cystolithotripsy. Further investigation revealed a story of gunshot injury of her lower abdomen and a bullet left in the iliac bones thirty years before. Thus, the bullet was presumed to migrate from the pelvic bones to the urinary bladder.
