Foreign body in urinary bladder being unusual in clinical setting presents as a diagnostic dilemma with vague history. Bladder calculi are uncommon in adults and usually result either from obstruction or foreign bodies. The present case report describes a young girl presenting with cysticism. Investigations revealed a bladder calculus encrusted on trans-urethrally inserted abortion stick in the urinary bladder that warranted surgery. Endoscopic manipulation was successful. Postoperative period was uneventful.
