© 2020 The Authors. Published by the British Institute of Radiology..

A bacterial mass in the urinary tract is a very rare entity. We report the first case of a bacterial ball within the urinary tract of a patient with diabetic cystopathy on long term urinary indwelling catheter. She presented with fever and gross haematuria. CT scan of abdomen and pelvis revealed a gas containing hyperdense mass within the bladder suspicious of bladder stone. The lesion was resected, and histopathology revealed a matrix of acellular materials with bacteria colony.
