description BACKGROUND: Jackstone is a bladder stone that has a similar appearance to toy jacks. However review of the English language medical literature revealed only a few previous reports of jackstone calculus. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case in which a large jackstone calculus was incidentally detected during the evaluation of 67 year old male presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms. X-Ray kidney, ureter, bladder showed a large irregular shaped radio-opaque shadow in the pelvic region. He underwent cystolitholapaxy and transurethral resection of the prostate. CONCLUSION: It is important to recognize the characteristic shape of the urinary bladder calculi in the diagnosis of the jack stones and to treat the primary cause of calculi formation.
