Endoscopic management of urolithiasis is one of the commonest urological procedures today. It is usually safe and effective but one of the possible complications is ureteral obstruction. Stone fragmentation after ballistic lithotripsy and ureteral wall perforation could explain the mechanism responsible for this occurrence. We report a case of stone granuloma, occurring after a ballistic ureterolithotripsy.

Article Synopsis
- Sarcoidosis is an unknown multi-system disease characterized by granulomas, primarily seen in the lungs but can also cause lymph node issues and rarely affects the kidneys.
- A case study of a 59-year-old man reveals that despite normal chest imaging, he was diagnosed with sarcoidosis due to symptoms like renal failure and the presence of noncaseating granulomas in a skin biopsy.
- The report emphasizes that sarcoidosis can present without lung symptoms, suggesting that doctors should consider it when diagnosing unexplained high calcium levels, even in the absence of typical lung or skin signs.

Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by granuloma formation in various organs. It has been associated with nephrolithiasis. The vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 () gene, which plays a crucial role in vitamin K metabolism, has been implicated in the activation of proteins associated with calcification, including in the forming of nephrolithiasis.
