A 61‐year‐old man presented complaining of pollakisuria and nocturia. A plain radiograph of his kidney, ureter and bladder and intravenous urography revealed numerous calculi in the upper kidney of his left renal pelvis and ureterocele. A transurethral incision of ureterocele (TUI‐ureterocele) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy were performed. On TUI‐ureterocele, the many calculi were found to be almost the same size and spherical in form. The postoperative clinical course was uneventful.
