ABSTRACT

Introduction: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an infectious, inflammatory, chronic, and unusual disease that affects the renal parenchyma. The definitive treatment is nephrectomy. Objectives: Present a new case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic sequence adopted. Methods: A 61-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension, type II diabetes mellitus and recurrent urinary tract infections attended Dr. Luis Díaz Soto Central Military Hospital, for presenting intense and stabbing lumbar and right flank pain, of 2 months of evolution, associated with fever of 40 ° C, chills and marked the general condition. In the examination of the right abdomen a tumor mass was found of about 10 cm in diameter, painful, slightly movable and of smooth surface. The urine culture reported escherichiacoli. Abdominal ultrasound showed a complex image in the right kidney, and computed tomography scan showed a heterogeneous tumor, measuring 10.7x7.6 cm of regular contours, distorting the perirenal fat with densities of up to 73 UH. Results: The patient underwent transperitoneal right total nephrectomy, due to suspicion of renal tumor. This procedure had no complications. Microscopic findings of the surgical specimen revealed infiltration of lymphocytes, histiocytes, and lipidfilled macrophages, consistent with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. The evolution was satisfactory. Conclusions: Although the definitive diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is histopathological, the tumoral presentation form is one of the differential diagnoses to be considered in diabetic patients with recurrent urinary tract infections.
