Abstract
Xanthogranulomatosis is an idiopathic, rare process in which lipid-laden histiocytes
may deposit in various locations in the body, which if systemic is called Erdheim–Chester
disease. A rare case of isolated retroperitoneal, bilateral perinephric xanthogranulomatosis
is reported. The diagnosis was suspected on cross-sectional imaging and was confirmed
by CT-guided percutaneous core biopsy.
