Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.
Four patients with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis are presented; all patients were male and their symptoms were not urinary but nonspecific. Three of the patients are from a low socioeconomic class and did not have adequate medical services; therefore, we suggest that the disease is underreported.
