Abstract

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephirits is a chronic destructive granulomatous inflammation of the renal parenchyma. It was first described by Schlagenhaufer in 1916 and then Oberling named the disease as Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in 1935. It represents 1% of all renal infections. In this report we present two cases of Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis along with radiological assessment.
