Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: a report of 2 cases.
Two cases of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis are reported in Negroes. The clinical findings are similar to those in previously reported cases. In 1 case nephrolithotomy was followed by the development of a perinephric abcess 8 months later. Late diagnosis has limited experience with more conservative management, which should be reserved for demonstrably focal disease.
