Spontaneous pyeloduodenal fistula complicating a xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis

A 57-year-old female presented with recurrent episodes of right flank pain and fever. No pathogens were detected in urine cultures. Intravenous pyelography and computerized tomography revealed a poor-functioning right kidney with an upper pole cystic tumor. Barium meal showed a communication between the renal pelvis and the duodenum. A right nephrectomy was performed with repair of the fistula. Histological examination revealed chronic pyelonephritis with xanthogranulomatous reaction and cystic renal tumor. The patient remains well at seven year follow-up.
