AB  - We report a case of a cutaneous renocolic fi stula in 
a patient with staghorn calculus and diverticulitis. 
The most common origins of renocolic fistula are 
primary renal diseases including xanthogranulomatous 
pyelonephritis, trauma, malignancy or tuberculosis. 
While diverticulitis has rarely been associated with 
renocolic fi stula, previous instances of fi stulae have 
been noted in patients with simultaneous kidney 
disease. Infl ammation resulting from kidney disease 
may place patients with colonic diverticulitis at higher 
risk for developing renocolic or cutaneous renocolic 
fi stulas.
