'''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.{{fact}}
*Associated with:
**[[Diabetes mellitus]].
**History of [[urinary tract infection]].<ref name=pmid17987581>{{cite journal |author=Afgan F, Mumtaz S, Ather MH |title=Preoperative diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis |journal=Urol J |volume=4 |issue=3 |pages=169–73 |year=2007 |pmid=17987581 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
**[[Nephrolithiasis]].
**GU obstruction.<ref name=pmid17098659>{{cite journal |author=Al-Ghazo MA, Ghalayini IF, Matalka II, Al-Kaisi NS, Khader YS |title=Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: Analysis of 18 cases |journal=Asian J Surg |volume=29 |issue=4 |pages=257–61 |year=2006 |month=October |pmid=17098659 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
*Occasionally an indication for nephrectomy.<ref name=pmid17987581/><ref name=pmid17098659/>
*Most common organism (in the context of nephrectomy specimens) - ''Proteus mirabilis''.<ref name=pmid17098659/>
==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.<ref name=pmid8378177>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Iskandar | first1 = SS. | last2 = Prahlow | first2 = JA. | last3 = White | first3 = WL. | title = Lipid-laden foamy macrophages in renal cell carcinoma.

==Stains==
*[[PAS-D]] -ve.
**Done to look for malakoplakia.
==IHC==
*CD68 +ve.
*RCC markers (CD10, RCC) all negative.
==Sign out==
<pre>
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).
</pre>
===Compatible XGP===
<pre>
"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.
</pre>
===Micro===
The sections show degenerative renal parenchyma with surrounding histiocytes, other inflammatory cells, fibrosis and cholesterol clefts.
