The case of a spontaneous kidney rupture due to an urothelial carcinoma one week after delivery is presented. Diagnosis was made during operation. In comparison to the carcinoma, which is diagnosed and treated in time, the prognosis is poor. The patient deserved continuous gynecological follow-up and showed the classic symptoms of an urothelial carcinoma for six months. In spite of regular sonographic controls during pregnancy the tumor was not diagnosed. Diagnosis and management of renal carcinomas during pregnancy are discussed.
