    Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) presents as focal kidney lesions, often mimicking tumors. Diagnosis is challenging, with nephrectomy being the primary treatment for this rare condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare, chronic inflammatory condition affecting the kidney.
    • It is characterized by lipid-laden macrophages and often associated with infection and obstruction.

    Observation:

    • This report details four cases of XGP managed at the Department of Urology.
    • All cases exhibited focal kidney lesions.

    Findings:

    • Pre- and intraoperative diagnosis of XGP is frequently uncertain.
    • Clinical presentation and gross kidney appearance can strongly suggest renal malignancy.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of XGP requires high clinical suspicion.
    • Nephrectomy remains the principal therapeutic intervention for XGP.
