'''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 UTI.<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. | |||

*Occasionally an indication of nephrectomy.<ref name=pmid17987581/><ref name=pmid17098659/> | |||
*Most common organism (in the context of nephrectomy specimens) - ''Proteus mirabilis''.<ref name=pmid17098659/> | |||
==Microscopic== | |||
*Abundant macrophages. | |||
*+/-Giant cells. | |||
DDx: | |||
*[[Malakoplakia]]. | |||
**Basophilic inclusions -- inside or outside of macrophages - often size of RBC or larger ([[Michaelis-Gutmann bodies]]). | |||
*RCC - especially [[PRCC]] (as this has foamy macrophages). | |||
*Granulomatous disease. | |||
*[[Chronic pyelonephritis]]. | |||
*[[Interstitial nephritis]]. | |||

==Stains== | |||
*[[PAS-D]] -ve. | |||
**Done to look for malakoplakia. | |||
==IHC== | |||
*CD68 +ve. | |||
*RCC markers (CD10, RCC) all negative. | |||

<pre> | |||
RIGHT KIDNEY, NEPHRECTOMY: | |||
- XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS PYELONEPHRITIS. | |||
- CHRONIC INTERSTITIAL NEPHRITIS. | |||
- INCREASED NUMBERS OF TOTALLY SCLEROSED GLOMERULI AND GLOMERULI WITH FOCAL | |||
SEGMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS. | |||
- 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. | |||
