ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: We report another case of splenic abscess after nephrectomy, a condition which must be considered in the differential diagnosis of post-operative fever. METHODS/RESULTS: A 20-year-old man presented with lumbar pain and fever. A diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis was made and he was treated by subcapsular nephrectomy. Thirty days later the patient presented with a lumbar fistula from a splenic abscess and was treated by splenectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Fistulas and abscesses are more common after nephrectomy for xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. In our view, the subcapsular approach is an additional risk factor for the foregoing complications.
