Abstract
We report for the first time a patient with a caliceal diverticulum that was detected
in early childhood, who in adolescence developed xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis
to the diverticulum and surrounding kidney and infiltrated to the liver. The condition
was treated by nonradical organ-sparing surgery and prolonged antibiotic therapy.
