Abstract:
A 31-year-old women was admitted to the hospital because of fever with duration of 2 months. Her urine specimen was normal except for albumin(+), and count of WBC in CBC was 17, 500. Excretory pyelogram demonstrated a mass in the right kidney and was confirmed by renal cystography. Partial nephrectomy was done. Postoperative course was relatively uneventful except for persistant discharge for one month. By the histopathological finding, the abscess revealed thick, fibrous and granulomatous tissue infiltrated by polymorphonuclear cell and various inflammatory cells.
