Soft tissue calcification is common in uremic patients. Wound calcification or ossification is not so prevalent except in specific conditions like inflammation and ischemia or wound tension. We present a 40-year-old transplanted patient, not only perirenal ossification but also with multiple perirenal stones. The presentation was severe pain on the site of transplantation. Pre-op CT scan revealed perirenal calcified mass. Intraoperative finding was verythick tissue accompanied with a lot of stones around the transplanted kidney. The patient had history of ureteral fistula after renal transplantation that needed temporary percutaneous nephrostomy and then uretero-neocystomy.It seems that urinary leakage through nephrostomy site probably is the predisposing factor for stone formation around the kidney where as there is no stone inside the Kidney.
