Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, abbreviated XGP, is an inflammatory process of the kidney that can mimic renal cell carcinoma.
General
- May mimic renal cell carcinoma - especially radiologically.
- Usually lower pole.[citation needed]
- Associated with:
- Diabetes mellitus.
- History of urinary tract infection.[1]
- Nephrolithiasis.
- GU obstruction.[2]
- Occasionally an indication for nephrectomy.[1][2]
- Most common organism (in the context of nephrectomy specimens) - Proteus mirabilis.[2]
Microscopic
Features:
- Abundant (foamy) macrophages.
- Associated with the collecting system - medulla, not cortex.
- +/-Giant cells.
- +/-Interstitial lymphocytes and plasma cells.
- +/-Interstitial fibrosis.
- +/-Cholesterol clefts (common).
- +/-Calcifications - dystrophic.
DDx:
- Malakoplakia.
- Basophilic inclusions -- inside or outside of macrophages - often size of RBC or larger (Michaelis-Gutmann bodies).
- Renal cell carcinoma - especially papillary RCC (as this has foamy macrophages).
- Granulomatous disease.
- Chronic pyelonephritis.
- Interstitial nephritis.
- Renal cell carcinoma - foamy macrophages may be abundant.[3]

Stains
- PAS-D -ve.
- Done to look for malakoplakia.
IHC
- CD68 +ve.
- RCC markers (CD10, RCC) all negative.
Sign out
RIGHT KIDNEY, NEPHRECTOMY: - XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS PYELONEPHRITIS. - CHRONIC INTERSTITIAL NEPHRITIS. - INCREASED NUMBERS OF TOTALLY SCLEROSED GLOMERULI AND GLOMERULI WITH FOCAL SCLEROSIS. - MARKED INTERSTITIAL FIBROSIS. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. COMMENT: Immunostaining demonstrates abundant CD68 positive cells (macrophages). A CD10 immunostain is non-concerning (it highlights glomeruli). A pankeratin immunostain is non-concerning (it highlights benign renal tubules).
Compatible XGP
"KIDNEY" LESION, LEFT, BIOPSY: - FIBROMUSCULAR TISSUE WITH A MIXED INFLAMMATORY INFILTRATE. - CELLULAR DEBRIS WITH SURROUNDING LOOSELY AGGREGATED HISTIOCYTES. - NO RENAL PARENCHYMA IDENTIFIED. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. COMMENT: A SMA immunostain highlights the muscle component, and a CD68 immunostain marks abundant histiocytes. No epithelial component is identified with a pankeratin immunostain.
Micro
The sections show degenerative renal parenchyma with surrounding histiocytes, other inflammatory cells, fibrosis and cholesterol clefts.
