Abstract:
A 57-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a palpable mass in the left lumbar area. Computerized tomography revealed a diffusely enlarged destructed left kidney with impacted ureteropelvic junction stones and intense inflammatory stranding of the perirenal fat. This infiltration extended into the subcutaneous tissue. Since she refused to undergo nephrectomy, we performed transurethral ureterolithotripsy (TUL) two times. Retrograde ureterography before the third TUL showed communication between the renal pelvis and the jejunum. We performed a left-sided nephrectomy with a wedge resection of the jejunum. This is a rare case of nephrocutaneous and enterorenal fistula caused by pyonephrosis.
