Abstract
We report an unusual case of cutaneous nephrocolonic fistula caused by a renal calculus with perirenal infection. The diagnosis was made by fistulography and computed tomography, after which nephrectomy and resection of the descending colon were successful. We also review the literature on cutaneous nephrocolonic fistulas.
