We report on a 67-year-old woman with caseating granulomatous pyelonephritis associated with nephrolithiasis. Caseating granulomas resembling renal tuberculosis were observed in the renal parenchyma, but no TB or other microorganisms were detected in the renal tissue or urine cultures. To our knowledge, this is the second case reported in the literature.
