Focal xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis of the left lower pole was accidentally discovered in a 34-year-old woman at sonography. The patient had no history of stones and urinary tract infection and both conventional radiology and CT scan revealed radiated calcifications within a well-circumscribed mass. Surgical treatment consisted of enucleoresection of the lesion, and histopathology revealed a nucleus of bone metaplasia. To the best of our knowledge, metaplastic bone formation has never been documented before with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.

Abstract

Focal xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis of the left lower pole was accidentally discovered in a 34-year-old woman at sonography. The patient had no history of stones and urinary tract infection and both conventional radiology and CT scan revealed radiated calcifications within a well-circumscribed mass. Surgical treatment consisted of enucleoresection of the lesion, and histopathology revealed a nucleus of bone metaplasia. To the best of our knowledge, metaplastic bone formation has never been documented before with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.
