Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis presenting asProteuspreperitoneal abscess

Abstract: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGPN) is a rare form of chronic pyelonephritis with progressive loss of renal function. Commonly, obstructing urinary calculi are seen. It is difficult to differentiate between XGPN and malignancy in many cases, and the diagnosis is usually only confirmed post-operatively upon histopathological examination of the specimen. Surgical treatment is often the main treatment modality due to suspicion for malignancy. Here, we present a case of XGPN that presented with abdominal dis… Show more

“…These infectious stones can lead to sepsis, hydronephrosis, reduced kidney function, or pyelonephritis due to the collecting system being substantially obstructed [6] . Intra-parenchymal, para-nephric and retroperitoneal abscesses can occur as a complication of chronic pyelonephritis due to staghorn calculi [7 , 8] . Stone removal by percutaneous nephrolithotomy with antibiotics is the ideal treatment for patients with staghorn calculi alone [2 , 9] .…”

“…Staghorn calculi account for about 4% of presenting renal stones in developed countries [1] , are a source of recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) and may eventually be treated by surgical stone removal [2] . Intra-parenchymal, para-nephric and retroperitoneal abscesses can occur as a complication of chronic pyelonephritis due to staghorn calculi [7 , 8] . Although, intra-abdominal abscess formation is a known complication of dropped gallstones after laparoscopic cholecystectomy [3 , 4] , there is a paucity of data about retroperitoneal abscess caused by dropped renal stones following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).…”

“…The renal pelvis [ 23 ] is the most common location in the urinary tract, but cases arising in the ureter [ 24 ], bladder [ 25 , 26 , 27 ], and urethra [ 28 ] have been occasionally reported. Several microorganisms, especially Proteus mirabilis and Escherichia coli, have been implicated in its genesis generally associated with infective phosphate lithiasis, especially [ 29 ]. Although this condition mimics a tumor, its diagnosis does not preclude malignancy since cases of XI associated with cancer have been reported also in the urinary tract [ 25 , 30 ].…”

Several microorganisms, especially P. mirabilis and E. coli, have been implicated in its genesis generally associated to infective phosphate lithiasis, specially [29]. Although this condition mimics a tumor, its diagnosis does not definitely preclude malignancy since cases of XI associated to cancer have been reported also in the urinary tract [25,30].…”
