Eight cases of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis occurring in an oriental population are reported. The patients were mostly middle-aged, and there was a female preponderence. Nephrectomy controlled the disease in all cases. Diagnosis on clinical and radiological grounds is difficult, and it is often only made on pathological examination of the kidney after nephrectomy. The nature of the disease remains obscure.
报告了8例发生在东方人群中的黄色肉芽肿性肾盂肾炎。患者多为中年，女性居多。所有病例中行肾切除术均控制了病情。基于临床和影像学依据进行诊断困难，往往仅在肾切除术后对肾脏进行病理检查时才能确诊。该病的性质仍不清楚。
