  • Title: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis associated with renal cell carcinoma. Report on two cases and review of the literature.
    Author: Papadopoulos I, Wirth B, Wand H.
    Journal: Eur Urol; 1990; 18(1):74-6. PubMed ID: 2205504.
    Abstract:
    Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare and particularly aggressive variant of chronic destructive pyelonephritis. Even when all modern diagnostic possibilities are exhausted, it is often not possible to distinguish xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis from a renal cell carcinoma preoperatively. In clinical practice false diagnoses are therefore frequent. The coexistence of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and renal cell carcinoma is extremely rare. We report 2 such cases. In 1 case surgery was performed on the kidney affected by xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis using a renal sparing technique.
