[Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. Retrospective study].

The incidence of PGX in our setting is low (0.67%). Middle-aged women comprise most of our cases. This disease process is usually unilateral; 53.2% of the present series had right-sided renal involvement. Over the past 17 years, 135 cases of histopathologically-documented XGP have been recorded at our hospital. Sixty-three cases were studied retrospectively. Patient history, symptoms and signs, and data gleaned from physical examination are presented. Similarly, patient outstanding pathogenetic features are described. Preoperative diagnosis of XGP is difficult. The availability of high resolution imaging techniques has enhanced diagnostic accuracy. Urinary cytology permits preoperative diagnosis with an accuracy rate of 80%. The postoperative prognosis is excellent.

[Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: apropos of 13 cases].

We present 13 patients anatomopathologically diagnosed with xantogranulomatose pyelonephritis. This form of inflammatory reaction may give rise to major pre-operative diagnostic difficulties through being confused with renal neoplasias. Clinical evolution consists of long-developing lithiasis complicated with infection. We regard echography and C.A.T. as extremely useful elements both in accurate pre-operative diagnosis and in the locoregional evaluation of the lesion. Treatment is surgical and the prognosis is favourable.

[Renopleural fistula secondary to xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis].

A case is presented of renopleural fistula secondary to xantogranulomatous pyelonephritis in an 18-year-old female patient. Although the renopleural communication was not observed radiologically, concomitant clinical signs, bacteriological isolation of E. coli in renal and pleural content and surgical findings, confirmed the existence of such fistula.
