AB  - Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare chronic renal infection 
      characterized by the destruction of renal parenchyma. Traditional treatment 
      involves open radical nephrectomy, which is challenging due to the inflammatory 
      process associated with XGP. More recently, laparoscopic nephrectomy has been 
      employed successfully in adult XGP. We present a case of a six-year-old female 
      child with XGP who was successfully treated by laparoscopic nephrectomy with 
      minor complications. Our case demonstrates the safety and feasibility of 
      laparoscopic nephrectomy for childhood XGP, indicating that it should be 
      considered a management option in such cases.
