The authors report the case of a 20 year old patient in whom the clinical findings combined with the radiological signs, suggested the diagnosis of renal cancer. The histological findings after nephrectomy established the diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. This disease may rarely give the appearance of a renal tumor. This points out the importance of identifying this lesion in preoperative staging to avoid carcinologic surgery and all of its difficulties.
作者报告了一例20岁患者的病例，该患者的临床发现与放射学征象相结合，提示为肾癌诊断。肾切除术后的组织学检查结果确诊为黄色肉芽肿性肾盂肾炎。这种疾病很少会表现出肾肿瘤的外观。这指出了在术前分期中识别这种病变以避免癌症手术及其所有困难的重要性。
