Summary
This study details a rare case of bilateral xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, a kidney condition that appeared pseudocystic. Renal angiography proved crucial for accurate diagnosis of this unusual presentation.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare, chronic, destructive inflammatory condition of the kidney.
- It is typically unilateral and associated with nephrolithiasis and urinary tract infections.
- Bilateral involvement is exceptionally rare, and a pseudocystic appearance further complicates its recognition.
