Abstract
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of kidney accounting for 1% of cases of pyelonephritis. We report a case in a 67 year old male patient who was diagnosed as emphysematous pyelonephritis and underwent right sided nephrectomy. On histopathological examination it was diagnosed as Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. Patient recovered well and had no complaints during his follow up visits.
