Abstract
Xanthogranulomatous
pyelonephritis
(XGPN)
is
a rare
chronic
inflammatory
disorder
in
children
that
results
from
infection
usually
associated
with
longstanding
urinary
obstruction.
There
are
two
morphologic
types:
diffuse
and
focal.
In
the
more
common
diffuse
form,
the
entire
kidney
is
involved.
We
present
a case
of
diffuse
type,
in
which
some
foci
in
the
kidney
are
spared.
