SUMMARY A particularly large kidney stone removed at operation is described and illustrated. The differential diagnosis is discussed. The stone is now in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. I would like to thank Professor George Cunningham and Dr Proger for the interest that they have taken in this case and for accepting the specimen for the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, and Professor Pyrah of Leeds for his advice and help in the production of this paper. I would also like to thank Mr Wade of the Royal Society of Medicine for the help he has given me in obtaining the references of large kidney stones from the literature.
