title: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis associated with renal carcinoma.
abstract: The first case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis associated with renal carcinoma is reported. Differentiation of the 2 entities clinically may be difficult and, since treatment regimens recommended in the past have included partial nephrectomy in cases of limited xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, one must hereafter be aware of such a combination when considering such a therapeutic modality.
