Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in children: Analysis by diagnostic modalities

  • Published:
Urologic radiology

We report the sonographic findings in a 2-year-old girl with the diffuse form of XGP and discuss the role of newer imaging modalities in the diagnosis and management of this disorder.
