Abstract

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an uncommon disease, which is usually seen in middle aged women and isquite rare in children. Authors report a case of focal xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in a 63 day old boy whohad a partly functioning right kidney on IVP. On ultrasonogram and CT scan, well demarcated multiple septatedcystic mass with enhancing rim was noted in right pole, suggesting as multilocular cyst or cystic Wilms' tumorrather than chronic infection at that time, which was proven as xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. Here a case ofxanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in infant is presented with review of literature.
