  • Title: [The place of diagnostic imaging in xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis].
    Author: Vestring T, Bongartz G, Kaiser R, Peters PE.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1991 Feb; 31(2):68-72. PubMed ID: 2034814.
    Abstract:
    The urographic, angiographic, sonographic and computed tomographic findings in 4 cases of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis are presented along with correlation with the pathological specimens. The parenchyma of the kidney was replaced by multiple, rounded, low-density respectively hypoechogenic areas on CT and sonography that corresponded to dilated calices and/or inflammatory tissue. For diagnosing the characteristic extrarenal extension of the disease sonography was not as accurate as CT.
