The medical records of three pediatric patients, two boys and one girl who were studied and diagnosed with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in the period from 1985 to 1995 were analyzed. All of them had histories of urinary sepsis and from the radiological viewpoint, one presented no renal urine disposal, another one had ureteronephrosis and the third had a renal pseudotumoral variety. The three children underwent nephrectomy and recovered satisfactorily which was confirmed by the postoperative diagnosis. A review of the international and national literature was made.

Keywords : PYELONEPHRITIS, XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS [surgery]; NEPHRECTOMY.
