Abstract

A patient passed 11 urate calculi after palliative orchidectomy for advanced prostatic cancer, and there was a simultaneous rise in urinary urate excretion. We believe that this rise could be the result of increased purine metabolism from lysis of tumour cells. To our knowledge this has not previously been reported.
