Abstract:
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) in childhood is not common and the characteristics of the disease are different from those in adults. A 14-year-old boy was admitted to Pusan National University Hospital complaining of fever and right flank pain. An excretory ungraphy shows compressed pelvocalyceal system by extraluminal space occupying lesion in right kidney CT and ultrasonogram of the kidney shows relatively well marinated localized bulging mass on right posterior aspect and invading to the right posterior Gerota's fascia, psoas muscle and quadratus lumborum muscle. Right nephrectomy was performed under the suspicion of Wilms` tumor. Pathologic findings revealed XGP postoperatively. We report a case of focal XGP in a child with review of the literature.
