title: [Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in infancy and childhood. Report of two cases].
abstract: We are reporting 2 cases of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in boys of 7 and 2 year-old. The inflammatory lesion had extended to perirenal tissues and appeared as a lumbar abscess in case 1. The kidneys affected were diffusely compromised by the lesion. Both cases showed Proteus mirabilis after microbiologic cultures. Definitive diagnosis was done by pathology examination. Nephrectomy was curative.
