AB  - Since it is difficult to differentiate xanthoglanulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) 
      from renal cancer, most cases of XGP are diagnosed after nephrectomy. We report a 
      rare case of XGP followed by abdominal computed tomographic (CT) scan. A 
      65-year-old woman was admitted with high fever. Drip infusion pyelography showed 
      a right renal stone but did not visualize the right kidney. A swollen right 
      kidney was revealed on abdominal CT scan. Diabetes mellitus was detected by blood 
      examinations and XGP was suspected. Conservative therapy with antibiotics was 
      performed, the symptoms disappeared within 2 weeks and the right atrophic kidney 
      was revealed on abdominal CT scan 12 months after onset. Histopathological 
      findings on a renal biopsy specimen obtained 1.5 months after treatment were 
      compatible with XGP. The diagnosis of XGP will become easier by using a combined 
      approach including radiographic findings, physical finding and other data.
