A member asked:
Can a kidney stone be 7 cm?
10 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Check with doctor: I have never seen a 7 cm kidney stone before, but I have seen a 7 millimeter stone accidentally reported as 7 cm. Having said that, i guess anything is theoretically possible. I have seen stones in the renal pelvis on the order of centimeters but this has been as a result of chronic infection and other forms of severe chronic renal pathology.

No: This is likely a misprint on the report. A stone may be 7mm.

Can happen-unlikely: Unlikely in developed countries but it is a diagnosis that is made in some developing nations where the kidney pelvis is filled with a stag horn type calculus.
