A 58-year-old woman was admitted to the Department of Urology, Sakata City Hospital, with the chief complaint of pain in the left flank region. ⋯ The pelvicaliceal system of the resected kidney was distended and contained yellow fatty like tissue. Histologically xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis was confirmed. The patient made an uneventful recovery.
