Abstract
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is seldom seen nowadays due to the aggressive treatment of upper urinary tract infections as well as recent advances in the management of urolithiasis. It has been rarely reported in the peri-partum period. We present a case of XGP without any evidence of renal calculi, manifesting in a 26-year-old previously healthy woman immediately post-partum. © 2019 The Authors
