XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS PYELONEPHRITIS IN A PREGNANT WOMAN - A CASE-REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

We report a rare case of a 24-year-old woman who presented during her second trimester of pregnancy with a presumptive diagnosis of right-si ded xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP). Despite attempted conser vative management, the patient ultimately required a right nephrectomy without complications to either the patient or fetus. Pathology confi rmed the diagnosis of XGP of the right kidney. Herein, we present a ca se report and a review of the literature concerning XGP and pregnancy.
