A rare and unusual complication of the STING procedure

An 8-year-old boy underwent a STING procedure for vesicoureteric reflux. 11 years later, at 19-years-old he presented with the passage of sediment per urethra every 7 weeks. CT scan demonstrated a lesion at the right VUJ. Cystoscopy revealed a 2cm suburothelial mass adjacent to the VUJ, with normal urothelium overlying it. Resection of the area revealed a white plastic-like substance, consistent with the bulking agent Deflux, which was scraped away. The patient made an uneventful recovery and at review, 3 months later, is symptom free. Our case demonstrates a rare and unusual complication of the STING procedure.
