Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a well-established, safe andeffective therapeutic modality for surgical treatment of urolithiasis. Hematomais a rare complication of ESWL and, when it occurs, typically involves thekidney. We report the case of a 71-year-old woman who developed severe,persistent abdominal pain after ESWL for a 9-mm stone at the ureteropelvicjunction. Post-treatment CT scan demonstrated a 13 × 6–cm subcapsular hepatichematoma. A follow-up CT scan showed expansion of the hematoma and developmentof hepatic vein thrombosis. This finding, along with persistent abdominalpain and rising liver transaminases, led to surgical intervention. The patient’ssymptoms resolved and liver function returned to baseline following liver decompression.

Eosinophilic Pleural Effusion

Background. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has been widely used to treat renal stones. The procedure is relatively safe with minor complications.Case. The patient is a 32-year-old man who presented with left sided pleural effusion after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.Results. The pleural effusion study revealed an exudative fluid rich in eosinophils (30%). So, the diagnosis of eosinophilic pleural effusion as a complication of lithotripsy was made.Conclusion. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should be regarded as an etiology of unexplained eosinophilic pleural effusion after this procedure.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is a very commonly used treatment modality for appropriate sized stones. Even though it is a noninvasive treatment technique, major complications may occur following SWL sessions. Herein, we report a 17-year-old male patient, who received 2 sessions of SWL treatment for his left kidney stone, 4 months before his admission. Imaging methods showed an enhanced left renal pelvis mass with contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CT) and this finding raised a suspicion of pelvis renalis tumor. Diagnostic ureterorenoscopy was planned for the patient and operation revealed a left intrarenal hematoma, which was drained percutaneously during the same operation. Careful history should be taken from patients with renal pelvis masses and intrarenal hematoma formation should be kept in mind, especially if the patient has a previous SWL history.
