ABSTRACT = {Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare systemic 
histiocytosis with urologic manifestations in a majority 
of affected patients. An important manifestation is a 
pronounced retroperitoneal fibrosis with reported dense 
inflammatory rind surrounding the kidneys. We report a case of a patient with large stone burden necessitating 
percutaneous nephrolithotomy and the implications 
related to his Erdheim-Chester-related retroperitoneal 
fibrotic changes. Foreknowledge of these implications may 
inform perioperative counseling and surgical planning to 
maximize opportunity for successful outcomes.},
