title: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in an infant with an obstructed upper pole renal moiety.
abstract: We report a case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in an infant involving the upper renal pole moiety of a duplicated system associated with an obstructed ectopic ureter. It was successfully managed by an upper pole heminephroureterectomy. We also review the published reports of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in pediatric patients.
