Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is seldom seen nowadays due to the aggressive treatment of upper urinary tract infections as well as recent advances in the management of urolithiasis. It has been rarely reported in the peri-partum period. We present a case of XGP without any evidence of renal calculi, manifesting in a 26-year-old previously healthy woman immediately post-partum.
Highlights • Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is rare due to the aggressive treatment of upper urinary tract infections and urolithiasis. • It has been rarely reported in the peri-partum period. • A post-partum 26-year-old woman developed acute xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, without any evidence of renal calculi.
