  • Title: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis with a renocolic fistula caused by a parapelvic cyst.
    Author: Matsuoka Y, Arai G, Ishimaru H, Takagi K, Aida J, Okada Y.
    Journal: Int J Urol; 2006 Apr; 13(4):433-5. PubMed ID: 16734865.
    Abstract:
    Fistula formation between the upper urinary tract and bowel is an uncommon complication in urogenital diseases. We present a rare case of focal xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis with a renocolic fistula. This is the first case where a parapelvic cyst obstructs the caliceal outflow and leads to the formation of a renocolic fistula in renal inflammatory disease. It is difficult to make a preoperative diagnosis of focal xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis with widespread involvement that is caused by non-calculous urinary tract obstruction.
