ABSTRACT = {Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare,
chronic inflammatory lesion of the kidney associated with
both chronic infection and obstruction. Most common in
middle-aged females, it is important to recognize in children
because it may be confused with childhood renal malignancies particularly Wilms’ tumor. We report a case
of a 1-year old male with antenatally detected and postnatally
confirmed hydronephrosis. Further investigation revealed
a left incomplete duplex collecting system with obstructing
lower pole stones, pelvicaliectasis and widespread foci of
calcification. He underwent a left nephroureterectomy with
the pathological report noting XGP.},
