Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare, chronic kidney inflammation.
  • Often associated with long-standing urinary tract obstruction and infection.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to its rarity and varied presentation.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old woman presented with symptoms suggestive of XGP.
  • No prior history of kidney stones or known renal issues.
  • Diagnostic workup included ultrasonography and CT scan, followed by drainage.

Findings:

  • Nephrectomy was performed as the treatment of choice.
  • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of considering XGP in differential diagnoses for complex kidney infections.
  • Highlights the role of advanced imaging in preoperative assessment.
  • Underscores that nephrectomy can be a successful treatment option for XGP.
