Abstract Background Cystinuria and xanthinuria are both rare genetic diseases involving urinary calculi. However, cases combining these two disorders have not yet been reported. Case Presentation In this study, we report a case of cystinuria with xanthine stones and hyperuricemia. The 23-year-old male patient was diagnosed with kidney and ureteral stones, solitary functioning kidney and hyperuricemia after admission to the hospital. The stones were removed by surgery and found to be composed of xanthine. Conclusion Genetic testing by next-generation sequencing technology showed that the patient carried the homozygous nonsense mutation c.1113 C> A (p.Tyr371*) in the SLC3A1 gene, which was judged to be a functionally pathogenic variant. Sanger sequencing revealed that the patient’s parents carried this heterozygous mutation, which is a pathogenic variant that can cause cystinuria. The 24-h urine metabolism analysis showed that the cystine content was 644 mg (
