Xsanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis: Review of 11 Cases

Abstract

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an uncommon disorder of unknown etiology. That is an uncommon chronic destructive granuloma-tous process of renal parenchyma in association with long-term urinary tract obstruction and infection. This retrospective study was under-taken to review the xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis cases presented at our hospital from 2007-2012. Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephri-tis was diagnosed in 11 cases. Of the 11 patients with XGP, 7 were women (63. 6 %) and 4 (36. 4%) were men. Their mean age was 59 years. Flank pain was the most common presenting symptom followed by fever. All patients had unilateral disease and underwent total nephrecto-my of the affected nonfunctional kidney. Preoperative diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis may pose difficulty and nephrecto-my remains the treatment of choice especially in diffuse cases of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.
