Abstract:
Fistula formation between the upper urinary tract and cutaneous tissue is an uncommon complication in urogenital disease. Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis(XGP) is a severe, chronic infection of the renal parenchyma that is often associated with calculi and obstruction. We present a rare case of XGP with a nephrocutaneous fistula.
