A case is reported of an unsuspected anterior perinephritic phlegmon which had caused peritonitis of pyelonephritic origin thought to be due to a cholecystitis. The lesion was discovered during laparotomy and intravenous urography at operation demonstrated the condition of the underlying kidney and determined the therapeutic approach and the prognosis.
