  • Title: Focal Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis on FDG PET/CT.
    Author: Liu Y, Tong G, Wen Z.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2022 Sep 01; 47(9):e611-e612. PubMed ID: 35384887.
    Abstract:
    Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare disease that was often accompanied with urinary obstruction. The focal form of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is frequently misdiagnosed as malignancy. Here we present FDG PET/CT findings of a case focal xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in a 66-year-old woman with polycystic liver and kidney disease. The image showed a polycystic mass in the inferior pole of right kidney with high FDG uptake in the cystic wall, which was suggestive of a cystic renal carcinoma. Right radical nephrectomy was subsequently performed. The postsurgical pathology revealed xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.
