title: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in children.
abstract: We report on a child with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis--an uncommon entity in children. A review of the literature revealed that in only 18 per cent was the diagnosis made correctly preoperatively. In children the disease is of a focal nature rather than a diffuse one, suggesting that possibly radical surgery would be less necessary for adequate treatment.
