Chronic pyelonephritis presenting as a renal sinus tumor with retroperitoneal extension: a case report.

Introduction: Chronic pyelonephritis is associated with progressive renal scarring and occurs, most of the time, in patients with major anatomical anomalies, including urinary tract obstruction, calculi, renal dysplasia or vesicoureteric reflux.
