[Up-date on renal xanthogranulomatosis: (comparison of personal experience in 66 cases and the 720 cases from the literature)].
A statistical study of 66 cases of renal xantogranulomatosis (RXG) is presented. This is the most important study published in our country and the third most important in world literature. Twenty years of experience dealing with this clinical entity are presented, detailing the clinical, analytical, radiological, etc., features of this entity with a clear diagnostic orientation and surgical application. An assessment is made of the pathological associations that can contribute to mask this entity, special mention is made of kidney stones and urinary tract tumors. The results obtained with current diagnostic methods such as ultrasound and computed tomography are evaluated, and the personal experience in preoperative cytological diagnosis is updated. The conservative and radical therapeutic approaches are discussed and commented on, mention is made of the difficulties presented by this type of surgery due to the implication of neighboring organs in many cases. Finally, the personal experience of 66 cases is compared to that of 720 cases published in international literature, only considering those reports dealing with 5 or more cases.
