title: [Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: conservative therapy in the para-nephritic stage. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Xantogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare disease, occuring most frequently in middle-aged woman. The patients usually present with recurrent fever, dysuria, renal colic or aspecific findings. We report a case of focal PXG (paranephric stage) treated with conservative surgery. Generally, treatment consists of nephrectomy for diffuse or advanced stage diseases, excision of the diseased renal segment for localized and low/high stage.
