Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis Associated with Renal Carcinoma

Thomas W. Schoborg, Rosalie O. Saffos, Luis F. Urdaneta, Charles W. Lewis

Abstract

The first case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis associated with renal carcinoma is reported. Differentiation of the 2 entities clinically may be difficult and, since treatment regimens recommended in the past have included partial nephrectomy in cases of limited xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, one must hereafter be aware of such a combination when considering such a therapeutic modality.
