ABSTRACT
Hypercalcemia and nephrolithiasis have been associated with various etiologies, including dysregulation of the parathyroid glands, malignancies, or sarcoidosis. Other causes of hypercalcemia, such as granulomatous disease resulting from silicone-based cosmetic injections, have been reported but without specific emphasis on nephrolithiasis. Herein, we report an unusual case of simultaneous bilateral obstructing ureteral calculi (SBUC) triggered by recalcitrant hypercalcemia and granulomatous disease due to silicone-based cosmetic injections. A careful surgical history, physical exam, and imaging identified the underlying etiology, which was confirmed by final histopathology. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the patient's condition was successfully managed with endoscopic procedures and concurrent corticosteroid therapy.
