ABSTRACT = {Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare variant 
of pyelonephritis that often requires radical surgery. We 
report a case of a 51-year-old female patient who was managed with prolonged placement of nephrostomy tubes 
prior to surgery. This case illustrates the importance of 
surgical optimization of a poor operative candidate and the 
use of nephrostomy tubes as a temporizing management 
strategy.},
