“…Although the involvement is mostly unilateral, some bilateral XGP cases have rarely been reported. The etiology of the disease is suggested to be urinary tract obstructions with or without stones, treatment of urosepsis, disorders of lipid metabolism, impaired immunity, chronic renal ischemia, and lymphatic obstructions (4,8,9). Our case had no immune deficiency or any other concomitant disease to impair immunity and had no history of urosepsis.…”

According to the literature, differential diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) can mostly not be recognized preoperatively and is frequently confused with kidney tumor. A 46-year-old female patient was admitted to our urology department with the sole complaint of swelling of the left side of her abdomen and, following her examination and tests, her left kidney was found to turn into a giant size, painless, hydronephrotic mass with stones. However, since a giant solid mass was observed during the operation, it was thought that the mass could be XGP. I would like to report such a case, which may not pre-operatively be considered as XGP on the basis of the complaints, history, and physical examination and imaging findings. Keywords: Giant size, xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, stone Literatürde ksantogranülomatöz piyelonefritin (KGP), ameliyat öncesi ayırıcı tanısının çoğunlukla yapılamadığı ve sıklıkla böbrek tümörü ile karıştırıldığı vurgulanmaktadır. Sadece karnının sol yanında şişlik yakınması ile hastane üroloji polikliniğine başvuran 46 yaşındaki kadın hastanın, muayene ve tetkiklerinde, sol böbreğinin dev boyutlarda, ağrısız, taşlı, hidronefrotik bir kitle halini aldığı anlaşıldı. Ancak ameliyat sırasında dev boyutlarda solid bir kitle ile karşılaşılınca, bu kitlenin KGP olabileceği düşünüldü. Yakınmaları, öyküsü, fizik muayene ve görüntüleme bulguları ile ameliyat öncesi, KGP olabileceği düşünülmeyen böyle bir olguyu paylaşmak istedim.

“…Almost 70% of cases occur in middle-aged women. The etiology is currently unknown, but it has been proposed that obstruction of the urinary tract is primary, followed by recurrent infections due to inadequate antibiotic treatment ( cultures are positive in at least 70% of XGP; commonly Proteus and E.coli (7,8). However, the clinical features of XGPare not specific.…”
