Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: Rare presentation of a rare disease.
TLDR
A case of a 45 year old non diabetic female who presented with gradually enlarging renal mass with extensive retroperitoneal involvement and a non-functioning kidney with no evidence of obstructing stone or fat density and simulating malignancy is reported.Abstract:
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare chronic renal infection of unknown pathogenesis characterized by replacement of renal parenchyma by lipid filled macrophages frequently associated with an enlarged, non-functioning kidney and an obstructing calculus. We report a case of a 45 year old non diabetic female who presented with gradually enlarging renal mass with extensive retroperitoneal involvement and a non-functioning kidney with no evidence of obstructing stone or fat density and simulating malignancy. She was diagnosed as stage III Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and managed with radical nephrectomy with favourable outcome.read more

Clinicopathological spectrum of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis
TL;DR: Histopathologic examination gives the definitive diagnosis of XGP which relies on the characteristic morphology and surgical intervention in the form of nephrectomy is the treatment of choice and offers good treatment outcomes.

Complicated pyelonephritis associated with chronic renal stone disease
TL;DR: Images of complicated pyelonephritis associated with chronic renal stones disease are reviewed as potential mimics of other renal diseases and malignances and helpful tips and differentiating features that may alert the radiologist to suspect a diagnosis of infection are provided.

TL;DR: Non-functioning kidneys, particularly those with kidney stones, should be managed as possible malignancies, due to the higher incidence of malignant tumors in such patients compared with the normal population.

TL;DR: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of renal lesions in childhood, during surgery if any suspicion from the diagnosis, a frozen biopsy should have been taken.

TL;DR: A spontaneous fistula of the kidney to the adjacent organs is a somewhat common phenomenon, but the most common cause of nephrocutaneous fistula is the complication of surgical and interventional procedures, trauma, and renal tumors.
