ABSTRACT = {We report the first case, to our knowledge, of
xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) with psoas
abscess occurring during pregnancy. A 37-year-old woman
in the third trimester of pregnancy presented with low back
pain and a fever. From sonographic features, a
multidisciplinary team decided to perform computed
tomography of the abdomen with contrast agent injection,
which strongly suggested diffuse XGP of the left kidney
with a psoas abscess. Cesarean section at 32 weeks was
followed by extended nephrectomy. Pathological
examination of the operative specimen confirmed the
diagnosis. Outcomes were favorable in the mother and baby.
The diagnosis and treatment of XGP during pregnancy are
discussed.},
