Focal involvement of the kidney was noted in 5 instances. An accurate preoperative diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is difficult because of its clinical and radiological similarities to various other renal lesions. Bilateral xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is extremely rare and segmental excision of the kidney, when technically feasible, may be curative. © 1981 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByPeréz L, Thrasher J and Anderson E (2018) Successful Management of Bilateral Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis by Bilateral Partial NephrectomyJournal of Urology, VOL. 149, NO. 1, (100-102), Online publication date: 1-Jan-1993.Chuang C, Lai M, Chang P, Huang M, Chu S, Wu C and Wu H (2018) Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis: Experience in 36 CasesJournal of Urology, VOL. 147, NO. 2, (333-336), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1992.Lauzurica R, Felip A, Serra A, Saladie J, Montserrat E, Encabo B and Caralps A (2018) Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis and Systemic Amyloidosis: Report of 2 New Cases and the Natural History of this AssociationJournal of Urology, VOL. 146, NO. 6, (1603-1606), Online publication date: 1-Dec-1991.Bazeed M, Nabeeh A and Atwan N (2018) Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis in Bilharzial Patients: A Report of 25 CasesJournal of Urology, VOL. 141, NO. 2, (261-264), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1989.Lizza E, Elyaderani M and Belis J (2018) Atypical Presentation of Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis: Diagnosis by Ultrasonography and Fine Needle Aspiration BiopsyJournal of Urology, VOL. 132, NO. 1, (95-97), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1984.
