    Computed tomography (CT) can help differentiate xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) from renal carcinoma. Key CT features suggest XGP, aiding in preoperative diagnosis of this inflammatory kidney disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare, chronic inflammatory condition of the kidney.
    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and differentiating it from other renal pathologies, such as renal cell carcinoma.

    Observation:

    • This report details two cases of XGP evaluated using computed tomography (CT) prior to surgery.
    • CT imaging revealed specific features suggestive of XGP, including global renal enlargement and calculi.
    • Infiltrative spread into the renal fatty capsule and thickening of Gerota's fascia were noted, alongside characteristic density differences in the renal parenchyma.

    Findings:

    • CT demonstrated features that can distinguish XGP from renal carcinoma.
    • Reduced contrast medium concentration within the renal pyramids was a key indicator.

  • One case allowed for a preoperative diagnosis of an inflammatory, abscess-forming disease.

    • Implications:

    • CT imaging provides valuable diagnostic clues for xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.
    • Identifying these specific CT findings can guide surgical planning and improve patient outcomes.
    • This supports the utility of CT in the differential diagnosis of complex renal inflammatory conditions.
