    Summary

    Diffuse xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) in children is rarer than focal XGP. This study reviews 5 cases, challenging the concept that XGP only occurs focally in pediatric patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Pediatric Radiology
    • Pediatric Pathology

    Background:

    • Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare, chronic destructive inflammation of the kidney.
    • Historically, XGP in pediatric patients has been described exclusively in a focal form.

    Observation:

    • The authors present two novel cases of diffuse XGP in children.
    • A literature review identified three additional pediatric cases of diffuse XGP.

    Findings:

    • The findings suggest that diffuse XGP is a recognized, albeit rare, entity in childhood.
    • Key radiologic and pathologic distinctions between focal and diffuse XGP are elucidated.

    Implications:

    • The established concept of pediatric XGP solely as a focal condition requires revision.

  • Accurate differentiation between focal and diffuse XGP is crucial for appropriate diagnosis and management in pediatric patients.
