Perinephric abscess secondary to renal stones is a rare entity. Presenting with a cutaneous sinus is even rarer. To the best of our knowledge, there are only 6 cases of staghorn calculus presenting as discharging sinus. This report highlights the importance of early detection of renal calculi especially staghorn types and their earliest possible intervention. It also emphasizes the need for clinical suspicion of any intra abdominal pathology as the cause of sinus formation.
