Abstract
- Emphysematous urinary tract infection is a rare, life-threatening necrotizing infection characterized by gas generation, and usually occurs in patients with diabetes and/or urinary tract obstruction. We herein report a unique case of emphysematous renal infection occurred in. an old diabetic man with renal cell carcinoma. This case suggests that renal cell carcinoma should be also considered a rare cause of emphysematous renal infection showing mass contour.
