Acute appendicitis was considered initially and she underwent emergent appendectomy. However, persistent symptoms postoperatively made us perform an imaging study to identify the problems. Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography disclosed several focal wedge-shaped lesions of low attenuation in the renal allograft. Acute lobar nephronia was successfully managed with parenteral antibiotics. The patient recovered without any sequela. A renal allograft in the right iliac fossa complicates the diagnosis among acute renal infection, malignancy, acute rejection, and even acute appendicitis. Biopsy of the renal allograft is sometimes needed due to clinically ambiguous imaging results. In this report, we not only detail the clinical course of such a rare case, but also review the previous 3 cases of acute lobar nephronia in renal allografts in the literature. |
