Clinical, radiological and ultrasonographical features of three cases of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, one of which in a child, are reported. Presurgical diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is difficult and infrequent to date (10-14% of cases according to different workers). This complaint is generally mistaken for other types of kidney infections or tumours. The use of ultrasonography and computed tomography in particular help recognition of the disease and above all help to assess its extra-renal spread: something that has only recently been made possible.
报告了三例黄色肉芽肿性肾盂肾炎的临床、放射学及超声特征，其中一例为儿童患者。黄色肉芽肿性肾盂肾炎的术前诊断目前仍很困难且不常见（据不同学者报道，诊断率为10%-14%）。该病症通常被误诊为其他类型的肾脏感染或肿瘤。超声检查及计算机断层扫描的应用尤其有助于识别该疾病，最重要的是有助于评估其肾外扩散情况：这一点直到最近才得以实现。
