Cho, Jeon, Park, Park, Lho, and Yoon: A Case of Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis Associated with Xanthogranulomatous Epididymoorchitis

Abstract

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an atypical severe renal parenchymal infection, characterized macroscopically by a yellow lobulated mass, and microscopically by massive inflammatory cells and foamyhystiocytes. Preoperatively it can be confused with hypernephroma, pyonephrosis with stone or other renal inflammatory diseases, We present a case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis associated with xanthogranulomatous epididymoorchitis. To our knowledge this is the first report of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis associated with xanthogranulomatous epididymo-orchitis.
