title: [Renopleural fistula secondary to xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis].
abstract: A case is presented of renopleural fistula secondary to xantogranulomatous pyelonephritis in an 18-year-old female patient. Although the renopleural communication was not observed radiologically, concomitant clinical signs, bacteriological isolation of E. coli in renal and pleural content and surgical findings, confirmed the existence of such fistula.
