Background.
Vaginal stones may form in the setting of mesh exposure with urinary incontinence.
This report serves to help understand the presentation, evaluation, and management of vaginal urinary stones.
Case.
A 68-year-old female presented with a vaginal calculus.
She had a history of anterior and posterior polypropylene mesh placement for prolapse 7 years earlier and urinary incontinence.
The stone was identified on a portion of exposed mesh and removed in office.
Pathology confirmed urinary etiology.
The exposed mesh resolved with topical estrogen.
Cystourethroscopy excluded urinary fistula and bladder mesh erosion.
Conclusions.
When identified, a vaginal calculus should be removed and evaluated for composition.
Cystourethroscopy should be performed to assess potential urinary tract fistulas and mesh erosion.
Additional imaging should be considered.
