Doctors remove 6-inch, 2.5lb kidney stone from Hungarian man (with pic)
Patient Sandor Sarkadi stares in disbelief - not to mention some relief - at the enormous kidney stone that has just been removed from his body.
Hungarian Sandor must have been in absolute agony while the mighty object grew and grew inside him.
Kidney stones do not normally get much bigger than a golf ball - and even that is considered extremely large.
But Sandor's reached an amazing six inches and weighed in at 2lb 8oz.
It's hard to believe he let it get so big since even small or medium-sized kidney stones can make sufferers feel like they are having hot pokers thrust in their side and back.
The beast was spotted on X-ray by doctors at a hospital in Debrecen.

fyi: it was not a kidney stone, it has grown in that guy's artificial bladder (after bladder cancer treatment)
his doctor said, that the patient felt no pain, the stone was discovered during a routine health check

It was bladder stone.. Strange thing but often happens when a bladder is formed from the colon.
