The article presents a case of preoperative diagnostics of a rare variant purulent-inflammatory kidney disease in children – the kidney carbuncle. The rarity of the pathology and the early child’s age (5 years old) determined complexity of clinical diagnostics and the importance of radiation research methods. The diagnosis was suspected by ultrasound diagnostics and confirmed by CT. The child was operated on (resection of the upper pole of the kidney), and clinical recovery was achieved. The article includes illustrative material and a brief review of the literature on this problem.
