Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis in an infant with an obstructed upper pole renal moiety.
Urology, 1999Co-Authors: Luis M. Perez, José Murillo B. Netto, Ramaiah Induhara, Elizabeth Mroczek-musulmanAbstract:We report a case of Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis in an infant involving the upper renal pole moiety of a duplicated system associated with an obstructed ectopic ureter. It was successfully managed by an upper pole heminephroureterectomy. We also review the published reports of Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis in pediatric patients.

Successful Management of Bilateral Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis by Bilateral Partial Nephrectomy
The Journal of urology, 1993Co-Authors: Luis M. Perez, J. Brantley Thrasher, E. Everett AndersonAbstract:AbstractBilateral Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis is a rare condition with 7 previously reported cases, all of which required dialysis and/or resulted in death of the patient. We report a case in which bilateral partial nephrectomy was performed successfully for bilateral Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis. The etiology, symptomatology, radiographic findings and treatment of this rare inflammatory condition are discussed with a brief review of the previously reported cases.

Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis treated by partial nephrectomy
Pediatric Nephrology, 2004Co-Authors: Jeiwen Chang, Shujen Chen, Taiwai Chin, Hsin Lin Tsai, Chinchen Pan, Yumkung Chu, Chuimei Tiu, Lingyu YangAbstract:Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis is an uncommon disease in children. We report of a 2-month-old girl with urinary tract infection and with a renal mass detected by ultrasound scan. The preoperative differential diagnoses were Wilms tumor, multicystic dysplastic kidney, renal abscess, and mesoplastic nephroma. The subsequent histopathological findings allowed the diagnosis of Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis (XGP). Although XGP is rare at this age, it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of a child presenting with renal mass, either with or without associated urolithiasis, anemia, and elevated inflammatory markers. The long-standing mainstay of therapy for diffuse XGP has been nephrectomy. However, we report the successful preservation of renal mass with partial nephrectomy for diffuse XGP. The affected kidney grew normally and preserved residual function after the operation. Hence we strongly suggest parenchymal saving in pediatric cases of XGP to preserve renal function.

Fine-needle aspiration cytology of Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis.
Urology, 1991Co-Authors: Shigeyuki Sugie, Takuji Tanaka, Akiyoshi Nishikawa, Naoki Yoshimi, Kazuo Kato, Hideki Mori, Toshimi Takeuchi, Emiko ShimonakaAbstract:Fine-needle aspiration cytology of Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis in a fifty-seven-year-old Japanese woman is reported. Foamy cells and cells showing a gland-like pattern originating from degenerative renal tubules were found in the aspirated smears. Multinucleated giant cells and cells with pale yellowish cytoplasm were seen in the imprint smears at operation. These findings were diagnostic for Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis. The cytologic diagnostic differences among Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis, well-differentiated renal cell carcinoma, and renal oncocytoma are also described.
