ABSTRACT
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a distinct type of renal infection characterized by massive enlargement., lithiasis, hydronephrosis and the appearance of yellow lobulated masses in the pelvis and calyces grossly, and by multinucleated giant cells and foam cells microscopically. Also this is a rare disease, which may be confused clinically, grossly and microscopically with other renal diseases such as renal cell carcinoma, renal tuberculosis and malakoplakia. A case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in a 53 years-old female is presented with a brief review of the literatures.
