Abstract
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare entity which constitutes 0.6% to 1% of all pyelonephritis cases and 1 % of all kidney infections. It is an unusual condition of the kidney resulting in parenchymal destruction and chronic inammatory reaction. It closely resembles malignancy and differentiating it is extremely signicant in therapeutic and prognostic aspects. Here we report three cases of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis due to its rarity, diagnostic dilemma and unusual clinical presentation
