Renal abscess in Papillion-Lefèvre syndrome.

A 5-year-old female with Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome presented with renal mass. A radiological diagnosis of malignancy was made; however, partial nephrectomy revealed granulomatous disease indicative of chronic infection. Although liver abscess is an emerging complication in patient with Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome, this case represents the first renal abscess described in such patients.
