Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare chronic bacterial inflammation of the renal parenchyma and is often a diagnostic dilemma. We present a challenging case of a patient with XGP. Initially thought to have had renal cell cancer she was treated accordingly with a partial nephrectomy. However, on the final pathology, she was found to have XGP and required further antibiotic therapy and referral to the infectious disease service. Management of XGP and diagnostic pitfalls are discussed. XGP is a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Partial Nephrectomy may be appropriate in management of XGP in select cases.
黄色肉芽肿性肾盂肾炎(XGP)是一种罕见的肾实质慢性细菌性炎症,常常是诊断上的难题。我们呈现了一例具有挑战性的XGP患者病例。该患者最初被认为患有肾细胞癌,因此接受了部分肾切除术。然而,最终病理检查发现她患有XGP,需要进一步的抗生素治疗并转诊至传染病科。文中讨论了XGP的治疗及诊断陷阱。XGP是一个诊断和治疗上的难题。在某些特定病例中,部分肾切除术可能适用于XGP的治疗。
