Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a destructive inflammatory process which is frequently caused by recurrent urinary tract infections or chronic obstruction by kidney stones. We present a 56-year-old female with an extensive retroperitoneal urinoma and xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis of the lower pole moiety in a kidney with a duplicated collecting system due to obstructive nephrolithiasis. After drainage of the urinoma, the patient underwent a definitive lower pole heminephrectomy with preservation of the functional upper pole. We review important clinical features of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and considerations for surgery on a duplicated kidney.

Duplex collecting system of the kidney is a common congenital anomaly of the urinary tract and is less reported in the adult population. Rarely, this anomaly can result in ureterovesical junction compression. Herein, we present a case of ureterovesical junction compression occurring in an adult patient with a duplex collecting system and describe the surgical management.
