XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS PYELONEPHRITIS AND SEGMENTAL DILATATION OF URETER : A RARE ASSOCIATION

Hemonta K. Dutta, P. Duarah

Abstract


Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is an atypical form of chronic pyelonephritis characterized by diffuse, focal or segmental suppurative destruction of renal parenchyma. Segmental dilatation of ureter is characterized by a giant, focal segmental dilatation of mid ureter. We report a child who had duplication of the kidney with segmental dilatation of both upper and lower moiety ureters. The lower moiety was non-functioning and showed structure of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis on histology. These associations were not reported earlier.


Keywords
