We present a rare case of empyema of the ureteral stump with a large calculus 20 years after nephrectomy for a nonfunctioning kidney secondary to chronic obstruction resulting from a small ureteral stone. The ureteral stump with stone was removed en bloc. We suggest that a ureter with stone should be excised at nephrectomy, especially in cases with a dilated ureter.
