Özet
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGPN) is a very rare, unusual variant
of pyelonephritis characterized by destruction of renal parenchyma. It usually
occurs in adults with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections. The
condition is rare in children and the disease can imitate renal tumors. Here,
we describe a 12-year-old boy who presented with abdominal pain. He did
not have any history of urinary tract infection. Computed tomography and
magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic lesion in the left upper kidney.
The patient underwent radical nephrectomy with a provisional diagnosis of
Wilms tumor however histopathological examination of specimen revealed
XGPN. 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.
