The clinico-pathological features of 15 patients with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) are described and the probable histogenesis is discussed. Based on our data and the review of literature, we believe that XGP should be regarded as a destructive and at times tumefactive inflammatory process that may complicate chronic pyelonephritis. The initiation of this process remains obscure, but the features commonly associated with XGP are pelvi-calyceal obstruction, ulceration of the pelvic urothelium with collection of necrotic material and bacterial infection.
本文描述了15例黄色肉芽肿性肾盂肾炎（XGP）患者的临床病理特征，并对其可能的组织发生进行了讨论。根据我们的数据及文献复习，我们认为XGP应被视为一种破坏性的、有时呈肿块样的炎症过程，可使慢性肾盂肾炎复杂化。该过程的起始仍不清楚，但与XGP常见相关的特征为肾盂肾盏梗阻、肾盂尿路上皮溃疡伴坏死物质聚集及细菌感染。
